Now in their third year, the Craft Business Trade Awards are fast-becoming one of the most eagerly-anticipated events of the year, giving businesses in the industry an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the products, companies and websites that have made the biggest difference to their enterprises over the last 12 months. Voted for entirely by the trade, they are proof of the buoyancy of the sector and a chance for all of us to acknowledge the excellent service our market continues to deliver, time after time. And so, it is with great pleasure that we now reveal the winners of this year's awards.
