The Small Business of the Year award is available to firms with a turnover of up to £1 million that exhibit excellence in all areas.

The judges will assess the trading performance, competitive advantage and future objectives of the business, and will look at examples of specific strategies that have driven business growth.

Last year’s Small Business of the Year was Azure Outdoor Living, a bespoke outdoor living area business based in Dereham.

Commenting on the award earlier this year, co-owner Dave Mudd said: “Winning Small Business was an incredible and humbling experience for the entire team.

“The moment we heard our name announced was truly unforgettable.”

The winner of the Environmental and Sustainability Award will be a business that can demonstrate its commitment to reducing its carbon footprint through innovative and sustainable practices.

The successful organisation will show how it is always learning and sharing its experiences of this process........
