On Thursday 16th May we celebrated our Annual Awards at the magnificent Winstanley House in Braunstone Park, Leicester.
It was wonderful to have such a great turnout (we had a full house!) and to see so many familiar and friendly faces for what proved to be a great celebration and networking opportunity for our business members and young people.
We are very grateful for all those who attended and would like to express an extra special thank you to those who spoke and performed.
