The 4th Cherwell Business Awards again shone the spotlight on the ingenuity, dedication and achievements of many talented individuals and businesses in the local business community.
Spratt Endicott Solicitors were part of the organisation committee and proud sponsors of the Established Business Award – this year won by Karcher UK. Some of the Karcher team are pictured above celebrating their win with Spratt Endicott’s John Spratt.
The 2015 Gala Dinner was held in a beautiful marquee set in the grounds of Sibford School, where guests enjoyed drinks before sitting down to a delicious three-course dinner provided by Devour Catering.
