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 Repair Shop - How To Spot A Ferrotype Camera 1855-1940s

After watching The Repair Shop on BBC1 restore a beautiful and rather rare ferrotype camera I thought a blog on the process would be interesting. Not only did they repair but they managed to have the camera working, taking photographs. This was very inspirational given the age of the camera. ABOUT FERROTYPE PROCESS Ferrotypes first appeared in America in the 1850s, but didn’t become popular in Britain until the 1870s. They were still being made by while-you-wait street photographers as late as the 1950s. The ferrotype process was a variation of the collodion positive, and used a similar process to  wet plate photography . A very underexposed negative image was produced on a thin iron plate. It was blackened by painting, lacquering or enamelling, and coated with a collodion photographic emulsion. The dark background gave the resulting image the appearance of a positive. Unlike collodion positives, ferrotypes did not need mounting in a case to produce a positi...

Onion Skin Archive Book Scanning - What is this and how do we process the pages?

CURRENT BOOK SCANNNING PROJECT.  We are currently working on a very large archive of old books that require HQ scanning to Archival TIFF images.  Once processed, these images will be prepared to PDF with OCR (optical character recognition) for a complete searchable output.   The difficulty in this order, is the books are prepared using a medium called Onion Skin Paper. Whilst we are very confident in preparing this type of medium, it is very important to be aware that there are risks with scanning, given the sometimes-fragile nature of the paper.   Tears and rips can occur, so a very gentle white glove approach is required. Equally, with the nature of onion skin, the paper is very translucent which requires a sheet of white paper to be placed under each page before scanning. This then grants a very good HQ image that we can work with.   WHAT IS ONION SKIN PAPER? Onion skin paper is a type of very light weight, almost translucent paper that ...

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...
