London, United Kingdom, November 01, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Following on from their 2007 triumph at the Thames Gateway Business Awards, Powerchex have been shortlisted for two more awards this year. Powerchex’s continued success in 2008 has been recognised with nominations in the Business of the Year and Innovation categories.
