Many congratulations to all of the winners and highly commended. Every title was very well deserved. If you want to be one of the deserving businesses taking home an award next year, then start thinking about the innovative ways you make your company stand out and get an entry later this year. Keep an eye out for more information in the magazine on how to enter and when. The IER Awards 2018 will return in March next year. I hope to see you there.
