The Royal Greenwich Best of Business Awards launches on 4 December.
Royal Greenwich in association with U+I will host the Best of Royal Greenwich Business Awards at a special ceremony, with guest presenter Steph McGovern, on Friday 6 March 2020 at the InterContinental O2 Hotel.
The awards celebrate the variety of over 11,000, thriving businesses within the borough and highlight the vital role they play in providing sustainable growth.
This is the third year we have run the awards and the number of businesses nominated has grown year on year, from 125 in our first year to 244 in 2019.
This shows that Greenwich is a great place to do business and that the awards are a great opportunity to get your business on the map.
The awards are free to enter and open to anyone who manages or owns a business in the borough, giving businesses of all sizes a great opportunity to gain publicity and highlight their successes.
Cllr Denise Hyland, Cabinet Member for Economy, Skills and Apprenticeships, said: “The Best of Royal Greenwich Business Awards are a fantastic celebration of the diverse range of businesses that we are home to. Supporting our businesses is vital to the health and future of our borough.”
