The main event was sponsored by our strategic partner, U+I and supported by the South East London Chamber of Commerce, aims to celebrate and recognise everything that has been achieved, against the odds in business over the last 18 months despite the challenges of the pandemic. The awards also recognised how businesses of all sizes and from all sectors that are located within the borough have adapted and innovated to sustain their business.
The Awards were free to enter and provided an opportunity for micro and small businesses as well as larger organisations that help drive the local economy to shine a spotlight on their successes and achievements. The award categories sought to showcase businesses from all sectors and industries including retail, hospitality, creative and service industries, tourism and manufacturing.
