Business leaders, companies and charities in the Cherwell district have been honoured at the tenth annual Cherwell Business Awards, which took place at the iconic Bicester Motion on Friday 16th September.

The evening, hosted by Lisa Simmons of BBC Radio Oxford, began with a minute’s silence in memory of Queen Elizabeth ll and welcomed over 200 guests from across the district who came together to celebrate the best and brightest of the business community within Cherwell, recognising the hard work, success and entrepreneurship of those operating across the region.

The opening ceremony was followed by the presentation of the inaugural Becky Moyce Tribute Award. Becky Moyce, sadly passed away in 2021. She was the CBAs resident photographer for many years. A advocate for all local businesses and the wider community. For Becky to live on in the CBAs, the Becky Moyce Tribute Award has been born to recognise individuals in the Cherwell district who go above and beyond for the good of others and the business community.

The inaugural winner of the Becky Moyce Tribute Award went to Neil Wild, Director of Wild Property Consultancy, who has nearly 30 years’ experience in the commercial property industry, Neil is chair of Banbury Chamber and is well known locally for his town centre coordination, an appointment from Cherwell District Council, helping support and develop a range of vibrant town enterprises for the sustainable growth of the town. He is an active participant in stakeholder events linked to the implementation of the District’s Development Plan, the Banbury Masterplan and proposals for particular development sites.   

With 11 award categories, and 30 finalists, the awards celebrated a broad cross section of the business community. Over the years the Cherwell Business Awards has created many winners and this can often be a springboard to future success, as well a celebration of the hard work and accomplishments of those winners.

During the evening guests enjoyed a drinks reception and 3-course dinner. A fundraising raffle was also held, using prizes that had been generously donated by sponsors and supporters, which raised over £2,000 for the winner of the 2022 Charity & Community Award – Cherwell Theatre Company.

All 30 finalists were commended before each of the category sponsors announced the winner and presented their elegant, engraved glass trophies and framed certificates.

The winners of the 2022 Cherwell Business Awards are:

The Overall Cherwell Winner Award 2022, sponsored by Norbar Torque Tools and selected from the finalists was awarded to PhysicsX Ltd – an incredibly talented team of scientists and engineers, headed by Robin Tuluie and based at Bicester Heritage.

How to Digitise Glass Plate Negatives | Oxford Archiving

The Preservation of The Curnock Glass Plate Negatives Introduction Our services ( @OxfordDuplicat1 )  are highly recommended in the UK for specialist photographic film scanning. Trusted to our company, we are preparing The Curnock glass plate collection, held at Oxford Brookes University and part of the  @MethodistGB collection. Almost all archives possess some type of photographic collection. Many individuals typically think of “photographs” as plastic-based negatives and slides; but these photographic techniques are relatively recent inventions. Prior to the invention of cellulose nitrate film in 1903, photographic emulsions were made on glass supports. These glass supports are typically referred to as glass plate negatives. The term “glass plate negative” refers to two separate formats: the collodion wet plate negative and the gelatin dry plate. Both of these formats consist of a light sensitive emulsion that is fixed to the glass plate base with a binder. Dozens of photog...

Vellum Document Deed Scanning in Oxfordshire

One of our most interesting orders came in today in the form of a vellum property deed dating back nearly 200 years. We were asked to prepare a digital copy so our client could preserve the original. After assessment we decided on which scanner to use and scanned the deed to a high quality Archival TIFF file before applying post production tone and sharpening. The results were stunning and a wonderful image produced. Interesting fact:  To ensure you could prove a duplicate copy, some deeds had a defined curved wave cut out at the top. This meant the original's replica could be matched 100% to the original, safeguarding fraud. What is vellum? Vellum is prepared  animal skin or "membrane", typically used as  a material for writing or printing on, to produce single pages, scrolls,  codices  or books. The word is derived from the  Latin  word  vitulinum  meaning "made from calf". Typically deeds are folded and stored. Alth...

Preserving Family Memories - caring for your heritage

Memories  are an important part of all our lives. Old letters, photographs, scrapbooks, slides and negatives, glass plates, cine film, audio-visual tapes and many other things help us to recall our past and the history of our family and communities. All of these things, however, are subject to decay and eventual destruction if they are not cared for properly.  Oxford Duplication Centre in Kidlington can support all our clients with digitisation of all consumers, corporate and heritage scanning and digitisation.  Please do email cheryl@oxfordduplicationcentre.com or contact us 01865 457000 to discuss your project. Letters, Diaries, Books and Documents.   Many families preserve letters, diaries, or other written documents in which family members discuss their life and times. World War II remembrances have led many families to look for a relative's carefully stored letters. Other families have saved newspaper clippings of important family events, such as the announcemen...
