Chamber awards 2009

This being my first post, I should try and make it as interesting, edifying and amusing as possible, to ensure any readers will be keen to come back for more. However, I'm starting this 5 minutes before I have to leave, which means I'm going to have to keep this one short and sweet and come back for a more lengthy introduction at a later date. So let's treat this as a preface, how about that?

Last night saw the Salisbury and District Chamber of Commerce & Industry Business Awards (that's a lot of capitals...), held at the wonderful Arts Centre. We had entered two awards; Customer Service and Outstanding Business of the Year. Once the Customer Service announcements came and went I relaxed, thinking we hadn't really got much hope in the Outstanding Business category. Anthony was even less expectant than myself, so it was with some surprise and genuine joy that we received the certificate for third place! Anthony's face was a picture, and we are both thoroughly chuffed to have been honoured with this award. Bigger and better next year we hope!
