Cambridge News Business Excellence Awards 2019 Launch Event

Now in its 26th year, the awards will honour the region's premier companies, as well as the people who make the Cambridge business scene one of the most vibrant in the country. 

Categories cover a wide range of areas, and winning firms will join the likes of chip design giant Arm and Bluetooth pioneer CSR, both of which picked up prizes in the awards before going on to international fame and being involved in multi-billion pound take-overs by SoftBank and Qualcomm respectively. Among individuals honoured in the past are Cambridge Satchel Company founder Julie Deane, Raspberry Pi founder Eben Upton, and Amanda Staveley, who made her name in Cambridge and has recently hit the headlines again thanks to her involvement in a take-over bid for Premier League football club Newcastle United.
