University Centre Peterborough host Cambridgeshire Chamber business workshop as part of centenary celebrations

University Centre Peterborough (UCP) recently welcomed members of the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce for a business workshop focused on how to win awards, held as part of the Chamber’s Peterborough Centenary event series.

The event brought together local businesses from across the region for a practical session designed to help organisations strengthen their award submissions, raise their profile and unlock new opportunities for growth.

Led by Anne Buckland of We Do Stories, the workshop explored how to craft compelling award entries, from identifying key achievements to presenting clear, evidence-based narratives. Attendees also heard from Dr Mike Greene, Deputy Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire, who shared insight into prestigious accolades such as the King’s Award.

By hosting the event at University Centre Peterborough, Inspire Education Group continues to strengthen its role as a connector between education, business and the wider community, providing a space where ideas, knowledge and opportunity can come together.

The session offered valuable networking opportunities and practical guidance for businesses of all sizes, supporting the region’s ongoing focus on growth, innovation and enterprise.

As part of Inspire Education Group, University Centre Peterborough plays an important role in supporting the local economy – not only through higher education provision, but by working closely with partners such as the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce to create opportunities for collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
