The Inspiring Hertfordshire Awards were launched in 2012 to focus on, and celebrate, the expertise, achievements and outstanding contribution that businesses and individuals continually make to the growth of our County.

These Awards enable Hertfordshire businesses to showcase their performance and achievements to clients, customers, suppliers, stakeholders and to all of the Hertfordshire business community.

In recognition of our hard work, at the Herts Chamber of Commerce ‘The Inspiring Hertfordshire Awards’, The Living Room came Highly Commended for Business of the Year, North Hertfordshire.
