Amersham Town Council announced its winners of the 2013 Citizen of the Year awards with removals company Clarks of Amersham winning this year’s Business Award for services to the community.

Amersham residents are invited to nominate someone who they feel deserves recognition for their contribution to the community. They have to have made notable contribution to others, so whilst they are the Mayor’s awards, they are voted for by the public.

Mimi Harker, former Mayor of Amersham said, “This Business Award goes to a family run company who are pillars of the community. They have helped out with every community function that I have participated in and have also helped in raising money for local events and facilities such as the Olympic Legacy multi sports zone and HS2 campaign. Their distinctive blue vans and lorries are often used as platforms or stages at local carnivals and festivals. As well as being used for helping move and deliver equipment for Amersham Round Table and Amersham British Legion to name but a few.”

Michael Clark, the Managing Director of Clarks said he was very honoured to accept the award on behalf of the company.
