On Friday 4th June 2010, more than 900 people enjoyed a night packed full of top-notch glitz and glamour as they celebrated the very best county companies at the Shropshire Business Awards 2010. A record-breaking year for the Shropshire Business Awards, organised by Shropshire Chamber of Commerce and the Shropshire Star, saw more tickets sold than ever before. And guests at the black-tie event heard from speaker Lord Digby Jones, with Master of Ceremonies for the evening the Shropshire Star’s Assistant Editor Carl Jones.

Nine companies were privileged to pick up the prestigious awards including construction and civil engineering business McPhillips of Wellington, which scooped the title of Company of the Year at Friday’s ceremony, held at the Telford International Centre.
