The clock is ticking for the Early Entry Prize Draw in the 2015 Test Valley Business Awards.

The early bird prize this year is a three-course meal for two with a bottle of wine at the George & Dragon, Hurstbourne Tarrant. The deadline for entries is November 30.

For over a decade, Test Valley Business Awards has not only recognised the area's top businesses, helping to raise their profile and set them apart from the competition, but also brought together the local business community, nurturing important business relationships.

Dr. Simon Kampa, managing director of Critical Software, winners of Employer of the Year 2014, commented: “Winning Employer of the Year is fantastic recognition for the values we have fostered over many years. People are at their most productive when they feel valued. By demonstrating we care for the wellbeing of our talented individuals, it is unsurprising to find that, in return, they are positive about the company's success and want to play a strong part in shaping its future.”
