For those who work tirelessly at what they do, wondering whether anyone ever notices, the Believe in Gloucester Awards answer the question - with bells and whistles on.

Crowds gathered at Gloucester Rugby's Kingsholm Stadium for the annual showcase which shines the light on those businesses, individuals, events and organisations which help make Gloucester a great place to live and work.

The event, run by Reach plc (publishers of The Citizen newspaper and Gloucestershirelive.co.uk) in association with Gloucester Quays, Marketing Gloucester and Gloucester City Council, is now in its sixth year.
