Ambassadors

Chelmsford Borough Council

Chelmsford Borough Council are once again pleased to support the Essex Business Awards.

The Council works closely with the business community throughout the Borough and has supported a number of strong partnerships including the Chelmsford Business Forum, providing an excellent opportunity for private and public sector organisations to work together on matters of joint interest.

The Chelmsford Business Forum and Borough Council also have a close working relationship with many other organisations throughout Essex, including the Chelmsford Partnership. Involvement in these partnerships, whether from the public sector or from private companies, helps to develop many common aims and objectives. This in turn enables businesses to capitalise on the challenges and outstanding opportunities that are on offer as Chelmsford and the surrounding area continues to develop and grow.

We would like to encourage all businesses to enter the Essex Business Awards for 2008 and wish all those that put themselves forward, the very best of luck.
