The Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce were delighted to welcome guests to the Worcester Arena for the Chamber Business Awards 2023, sponsored by Herefordshire Council.

Hosted by the amazing Paul Sinha, the awards welcomed more than 700 guests from businesses across the two counties.

The awards celebrated firms across Herefordshire and Worcestershire and were a fantastic way to raise awareness of local business success.

The Chamber would like to thank all 140 plus businesses that entered – every entry was of an extremely high quality, making the competition tougher than ever.

Some 15 awards were up for grabs, with the winners of each individual category entered into the final coveted award, Business of the Year.

One of the winners, Britannia Dynamic Logistics, said: “BDL are thrilled to have been given this award by the Chamber and judging panel.

"During the last 12 months BDL has seen a significant growth in business and given the worldwide reach of the Chamber I’m sure it will play a vital role in building our profile even further.”

Rotherwood, winner in the Best Use of Technology category, said: “It’s a great honour that our in-house developed software ‘Matron’ is recognised with this prestigious accolade.

"It’s a cutting-edge tool which has revolutionised our delivery of care within our organisation.

"This positions us as a technology pioneer within the care sector.

"We are committed to further using technology to enrich the lives of our residents and deliver ‘a new standard in healthcare’.”
