Ballymena Chamber of Commerce and Industry with generous support from Ballymena Borough Council and - of course - the various category sponsors, deserve the highest praise for their efforts in staging a magnificent gala evening which brought together all the local strands of retail, commerce, industry and innovation.

We will be carrying a special feature with all the award winners in next week’s Ballymena Times.
