Matthew Barker, MD of Barker Laundry & Dry Cleaning, has presented the award of ‘Independent Business’ of the year to the category winners, Hunts Accountants.
Commenting, Matthew Barker said: “Independent businesses are the backbone of our economy.
“They’re the mainstay of the SME sector, which generates more employment and delivers more wealth to this country than any other sector.
“Without independent businesses and the entrepreneurial spirit that they engender, the UK would not be able to deliver the amazing technological and financial innovation that it does to the rest of the world.
