UK: Kings-Lynn-based refrigeration contractor JD Cooling has been named as the overall Business of the Year at the Norfolk Business Awards 2018.

The awards, organised by the Eastern Daily Press newspaper group, were presented at the Norfolk Showground Arena last week. Presented by comedian Katherine Ryan, 13 awards were presented in recognition of outstanding talent in Norfolk’s business community.
