Preci Spark, Blue Flame (Cornwall) Ltd and Cornwall Council were among the winners at the 2012 Excellence in Business Training Awards.
The fifth annual Excellence in Business Training Awards, hosted by Cornwall College Business, recognise exceptional training and development in organisations across the south west, who develop their staff through training and who have seen exceptional business successes a result.
The awards ceremony, hosted at the Atlantic Hotel in Newquay, was a night to celebrate the achievements of both individuals and businesses.
