City Councillor Bernadette Clement, who was one of the many members from the City attending the event, had this to say about the evening. “I was indeed at the Business Excellence Awards night at the NAV Centre. It was, as always, a great night for our community. The celebration reminds us that the spirit of entrepreneurship is alive and well in Cornwall! There are big companies that are thriving, even in the manufacturing sector, and there are small businesses that are fuelled by passion and devotion to the community. Almost every recipient thanked their families, their staff and the people of Cornwall and area. That part is always heartwarming! And the big and final award of the night served to remind us that success in business can lead to great support for social and community development causes, locally and globally: congratulations and thanks to Dr. Rachel Navaneelan!

The Seeker would like to congratulate all the winners and kudos to the Cornwall Chamber for putting on such a wonderful annual event!
