BUSINESSES across Tendring are being reminded to put themselves forward for the district’s Blue Ribbon Business Awards.

Firms have until July 13 to submit nominations in one or more of the 14 categories.

The awards, organised by Jamesons Accountants, Barclays Bank and Tendring Council, are now in their third year and aim to celebrate the best of business in the area.

Chief awards judge George Kieffer, chairman of the Haven Gateway Partnership and vice-chairman of the South East Local Enterprise Partnership, said: “We know there are many fantastic companies operating in Tendring, but nevertheless I am always astounded by the quality of business when I read through the award nominations.

“That is exactly what these awards are meant to do – to celebrate the high calibre that exists in the Tendring business community.”
