Previous winners have used the awards to go on to develop national and international success. CPS Building Services Ltd is one of those local success stories.

Winner of the Stock PPE Medium Business of the Year title last year, the innovative building services contractor was founded in Cambridgeshire more than two decades ago and has grown substantially ever since.

Its recent skyrocketing success can be accredited to Liam Connelly, the managing director who took leadership of the business in 2016. His transformative work, which includes an annual turnover of more than £25m and an employee increase of 108%, also won him Business Person of the Year at the 2020 awards.

After seeing the impact of the CambridgeshireLive Business Awards firsthand, Liam is a huge advocate for the opportunities it brings.

“CPS has grown significantly since winning at the CambridgeshireLive Business Awards. I have absolutely no doubt securing the awards raised our profile within the local community and has helped push our business forward in difficult market conditions,” Liam said.

“Winning the award felt like a huge achievement for myself and the team at CPS. I set the goal of winning the business awards and after getting finalist status in 2018 it made me more determined than ever to keep trying to get this prestigious local recognition.

“I would highly recommend being part of the event; it’s a great experience with an opportunity of getting some very valuable local recognition and an opportunity to meet other fantastic local businesses.”
