Chief Executive, Ian Hopkins who gave the award to the Barker family who own the Chocolate Wrapper commented “The Chocolate Wrapper is a great example of a local innovative business which has shown real entrepreneurial flair. We work with many Hertfordshire based businesses and supporting these awards is a great opportunity to celebrate their hard work and success and recognise their contribution to the local economy.”
