THE online achievements of businesses, charities and schools across Hertfordshire have been celebrated at the second Hertfordshire Digital Awards.
Accolades across 15 categories including “Website”, “Blog” and “Use of Social Media for Business” were presented to deserving organisations at the University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, on September 22.

It was also backed by the Mercury, Lexus Hatfield, Hertfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership, Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce, the Department for International Trade and Capricorn Media.
Hertfordshire based Khushi Kaur won Bronze Award in the blog category for her blog ‘Mummy’s Happiness – It’s a Tween Thing’ where she shares about her life, interviews, product reviews and more. “I am beyond excited, proud and astonished to not only be a finalist, but to actually have won the Bronze Award. I never thought I would (even though I was secretly hoping to win!), especially when I saw all these big companies being finalists and I am just 12 with a blog!” says Khushi.
