Small business award
1:56pm Friday 14th December 2007
Green issues are topping the news agenda and Oxfordshire business awards is helping many firms to receive recognition for their environmental ethos, while proving they can compete on a level playing field.

William Smith, business development director, said: "Winning the small business category is a good third-party endorsement of our business, ethics, and technology.
"It is a win for sustainable biofuels and it helps build on the Oxfordshire brand image of being a centre of biofuel technology excellence."
