INSPIRE12 Business Awards night

The INSPIRE12 Business Awards night was held at the Hampshire Court Hotel in Basingstoke. This was a sparkling gala event night where the cream of north Hampshire gathered to honour the businesses in Hampshire making a difference.

From the largest multi-million corporations to one person businesses anyone who has done something special is recognised.

With over 500 guests attending the awards ceremony was supremely guided by Felicity Edwards of Destination Basingstoke and Mark Jones of the Basingstoke Gazette.

Despite the fact there were over 500 guests seated for dinner - the hospitality was exceptional - with table service excelling. Food was not only on-time and hot but was tasty and highly enjoyable.

The Hampshire Court Hotel dealt with everything in an extremely professional and capable manner, as if it were an every day occurrence. I do actually believe it was so smooth - it would probably need to double the size of the party to stretch their talents.

Winners and finalists came from all parts of north Hampshire with the coveted 'Business of the Year' Award taken by CV Library based in Fleet.

The evening was compered by Mark Jones, Editor of the Basingstoke Gazette who presented the Award at to CV Library:

"The unwavering focus of the business, the clear strategy and ethics and the structured way they have grown and marketed themselves makes them a business we should all be very proud of in north Hampshire."
