Tim Seeley, Head of East Anglia, Corporate Banking at Barclays, said: 'Recognising the achievements of businesses is more important than ever before as we start to see as optimism flourish in the UK. It is great to see that many local businesses are investing for the future, creating wealth and employment, investing in new technologies or exploring new markets for exports.
