The awards showcase the very best that Oxfordshire business has to offer.  We are very blessed to live in a county with such a dynamic and vibrant business community, from small owner-manged businesses to multi-national household names. They were all present at the awards dinner, which is the highlight of the awards calendar and enjoyed by all!
