Ian Mather, managing partner of lead forensic sponsor Mills & Reeve, said the calibre of entrants was the strongest across the board that he could remember in a long association with the Awards. Mills & Reeve has visited the vast majority of entrants and compiled comprehensive reports for the judges to consider. Business Weekly has added reports and forensics and looked at the long-term implications of the science, technologies, business models and management strategies demonstrated by entrants to the East of England and UK economies, as well as the knock-on benefits for UK exports.
