The Judges’ Award is one of the ultimate accolades of the Ely Standard Business Awards. Here’s how to enter.

Out of all the shortlisted finalists, the panel of judges select a company or individual that is showing promising signs of great potential.

The winner is considered to be “One to watch” and certainly has an exciting future ahead.

It’s also likely to become an established, respected and well-known brand in the East Cambridgeshire region.

Cambridge Expressive Arts and Counselling Centre were last year’s Judges’ Award winner.

Its centre offers a wide range of mental healthcare services for individuals and organisations such as art therapy, counselling and expressive therapy.

A spokesperson said: “As a company we have continued to grow since winning the judges award.

“New therapists and staff members have joined our team, and we are supporting increasing numbers of children, young people, and adults with our mental health and wellbeing services in Ely, Cambridgeshire and surrounding counties.”

This year, Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce will sponsor the Judges’ Award.

It aims to enable businesses to connect, transform, succeed and grow, through a wide range of benefits and opportunities that help promote them and generate new business.
