Continental were highly praised for their innovative use of IT systems and superfast to talk to plumbers across the UK, and deliver a swift and efficient service.

Olympian Roger Black said: "This is an exciting time to be a business in Cornwall. The county is in the process of rolling out a superfast broadband programme which will make it one of the best connected places in the world. In the same way that London 2012 is providing a world stage for athletes, Cornwall now has a world stage for its own business talent and expertise."

This is the second award listing for Continental with the Cornwall Business Awards, following a silver nomination for Best Use of Technology in 2006.
