“It seems incredible that it is 21 years since Business Weekly was launched. Business Weekly has made, and continues to make, a major contribution to the growth of enterprise in Cambridge and the East of England, building on those amazing inventions emanating from Cambridge University and the businesses which have grown on Trinity Science Park. Through your annual Business Weekly Awards and your promotion and encouragement of enterprise in the wider region, including that in the longer established companies, you have publicised and encouraged the spirit of entrepreneurship which is contributing so strongly to the success of the East of England which is of increasing importance to the UK economy. Business Weekly is itself continuing to develop new initiatives and seems set fair to play an increasingly important role in the coming years.”

Sir Michael Marshall, chairman of Cambridge’s largest industrial employer, Marshall of Cambridge (Holdings) Ltd.
