Huntingdon Town Partnership will be working hard to support the town during 2010.  Despite the challenges of 2009 we saw great partnership working and achieved some fantastic results in a wide range of areas.  Just one of the highlights in 2009 was the Gold Award for Huntingdon in Bloom.  More information on how to support the 2010 “In Bloom” projects can be found by contacting Huntingdon Town Council on 01480 388688 or www.huntingdontown.gov.uk/leisureevents

Finally it is great to acknowledge success and it is fantastic that Luminus Group came second in the Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For, beating 962 other organisations!  Chan Abraham, Chief Executive of Luminus, was recognised with a Special Award for “Leadership” at the same prestigious event.  Congratulations to everyone at Luminus Group.  Luminus Group is a longstanding supporter of Huntingdon Town Partnership and also supports the town in a wide variety of ways.
