At the Park Inn in Bedford, the brilliant barnet business was nominated for three awards and the team went home with four trophies.
Because as well as picking up the honours in the Customer Care Excellence Category and the Business Training Category and being named Small/Medium Sized Business Of The Year, Maxwells was also named company of the year to take home the blue riband award of the night.
The gala event was hosted by TV sports pundit Ray Stubbs and a black tie audience was regaled with an hilarious and topical speech by former MP, novelist and wit Gyles Brandreth.
