Speaking about the launch, Richard Sheehan, CEO of Shropshire Chamber of Commerce said ‘With a need for businesses to raise their profile more than ever this is a great platform to gain local, regional and national recognition. We must never underestimate the high regard that Queen’s Awards winners are held in, nor the fantastic boost to staff confidence and morale that being recognised as an exemplar in your field can bring. Shropshire has a thriving business community bursting with innovation and success. Let’s get together to share the stories far and wide through this amazing opportunity.’
