Business of the Year

Established in 2006, we are an independent, family owned and managed restaurant. Right from the start, we decided not to only cook amazing fresh dishes, but to mainly source all our fresh produce locally. This has become quite a tradition at La Piazzetta Petersfield, with some of the finest ingredients being delivered daily. We were delighted to sponsor the Life in Petersfield Awards evening congratulations again to our winner The Stroke Association!

We are a full service law firm providing high quality, personalised advice to individuals, businesses and organisations. We are a vibrant firm and have built our reputation on our commitment to providing the highest level of client service. We provide a tailored service and we are focused on responding efficiently to our clients’ individual needs. Supporting local businesses is very important to us and we are therefore very proud to have been able to sponsor the Business of the Year Award and would like to congratulate B2B Management on their success, as well as the other businesses for having been nominated.
