The awards ceremony took place last week in the Great Hall at King's College Cambridge, hosted by broadcaster and journalist Justin Webb.
The shortlisted finalists and subsequent winners are decided by a judging panel comprising leading industry figures from across the region, chaired by Jonathan Tewson, Director of Operations and Communications at Local World – owners of the Cambridge News.
Accio Group was the only company shortlisted in two categories in this year’s awards, with Managing Director Stephen Casey also in the running for Business Person of the Year.
Reflecting on winning the Small Business of the Year 2014 Award, Casey said “We are naturally delighted to be recognised as the best small business in Cambridgeshire by a panel of senior business leaders, in a category attracting a record number of submissions this year.
"Accio Group is on a steep growth trajectory. Group turnover improved by 56% during 2013 to £7.6m and we continue to seek new business opportunities for both the Structures and Events divisions to further strengthen our position in these sectors. I believe we have the people; skills, knowledge and self belief to excel in our chosen markets – and a desire to ensure that our actions match our words. This award is a fitting reward for a dedicated team who deliver on the promise of being outstanding, from the ground up.”
