Today we are celebrating the launch of the EDP Business Awards – our flagship ceremony championing the remarkable achievements of businesses in our region.
And this year the event takes on even greater significance as we celebrate 25 years since it burst onto the East Anglian corporate scene.
25 years is a long time in business, and over the past quarter of century the EDP Business Awards has been there to celebrate the diversity and resilience of our region's economy.

And as the UK's economic picture continues to brighten, we have every reason to believe that this year's landmark awards will fire the starting gun on a prosperous year to come.
With the support of our principal sponsor Anglian Water, we will announce this year's finalists during a glittering event held at the Norfolk Showground on Thursday November 5.
And there will certainly be plenty to celebrate as we announce the winners of three new award categories - the Top 100 Accelerator, Rural Enterprise and Enviro-Technologies Awards.
