Steve Orchard, Chief Executive of Touch FM, and one of the judges said: “This year we celebrated the seventh Pride of Stratford Awards and all sectors of our area; community, business and public have supported us magnificently.” Steve Orchard further: “The awards are so successful, because they provide a platform for what would otherwise remain untold stories.
