I WAS delighted to see the number of Wycombe-based companies that achieved recognition and success at the recent Buckinghamshire Ambassadors’ Enterprise Awards event held in Marlow, winning seven of the eight major awards.

During these difficult economic times for the country, local business success stories can be easily overlooked and so I wanted to add my personal congratulations to Mediplus (Innovative Enterprise Award and international Trader Award), O-Bit Telecom (Entrepreneur of the Year) Peter Hoare (Young Entrepreneur of the Year), John Lewis (Corporate Social Responsibility), Bucks New University (Enterprising Educator of the Year) and Chiltern Railways (5 Star Outstanding Contribution Award).

Wycombe District Council is proud to be associated with these awards each year as part of our contribution to ensuring our area remains economically strong.

Councillor Alan Hill, Chairman, Wycombe District Council.
