Chairman of Hertford Town Council’s Development and Leisure Committee, Cllr Jane Sartin, said: “The Love Hertford Awards have once again recognised some of Hertford’s outstanding local businesses, and it speaks volumes that there were some very difficult choices to make in deciding who took home the awards. As part of the judging panel I was lucky to be able to read through the hundreds of comments made by people voting for their favourite businesses, and it’s clear that people really value and appreciate the high standards of customer service, goods and services provided by businesses in Hertford.”
