Winners Revealed – TVCC Hero Awards

The Thames Valley business community came together to help celebrate a diverse and exciting group of people as the Chamber announced its first ever Hero Award winners.

Set to celebrate the spirit of businesses and individuals from across the region, the awards showcased those that had worked, helped and supported their own communities during the Covid-19 crisis.

The hour-long ceremony was hosted by the first UK voice of Siri, Jon Briggs, with the ultimate parody singer Blobbie Williams, singing two of Robbie William’s biggest hits ‘Let me Entertain you’ and ‘Angels’ to a packed Zoom audience.

Paul Britton, Chamber CEO commented: “Over the last six months we have heard so many stories about the fantastic work being done by companies and individuals keen to make a difference and support their local community during the pandemic.

“As the saying goes not all heroes wear capes but having seen the list of nominations and the work being carried out many of them definitely live in the Thames Valley. Congratulations to everyone.”

Winners will automatically be entered into the UK Business Heroes – Celebrating Businesses One Story at a Time, an initiative being run by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) throughout October, for further recognition on a national scale.
