Tunbridge Wells means business
Tunbridge Wells Business Magazine has announced the finalists for our first official Business Awards event which takes place on December 17 at Thackeray’s. So who’s made our shortlist? Read on to discover the businesses – both large and small, well-established and fledgling – who have impressed us with their professional prowess…
At the beginning of November the deadline for our inaugural business awards event closed and we now, after much deliberation, have the pleasure of announcing those who have made the shortlist.
It’s certainly an inspiring one which covers so many diverse sectors and professions – from visionary entrepreneurs and passionate restaurateurs, to creative independent retailers and enterprising start-ups. We truly have been impressed by both the quality and the volume of entries thus proving – if it were needed – that Tunbridge Wells is a veritable hub of business brilliance.
Just before we talk about who has made the shortlist we would like to take the time to acknowledge and thank our sponsors because without their incredible support none of this would be possible.
Success Coach, Professional Specialist Recruitment CEO and Portrait Photographer Dee Airey is our headline sponsor and we are so grateful to have this entrepreneur extraordinaire spearheading our first official Tunbridge Wells Business Magazine Business Awards.
As Dee says: “For a magazine so young, the involvement of so many business owners shows just how invested we are in support of each other.”
Listed against each category are the other brilliant businesses who have supported us and we cannot thank them enough for their involvement in this special event.
Each category has been designed to highlight everything from innovation and growth to customer service and sustainability, the Tunbridge Wells Business Awards are, quite simply, aimed to be a showcase of talent, determination and local enterprise at its finest.
Alongside Dee Airey on this year’s judging panel are Pam Loch, founder of Loch Associates, Rob Brophy, Angel Investor, Andy Evans, investor, mentor and Co-owner of global content agency Eleven, and Siobhan Stirling, MD of Sharp Minds Communications.
The first Tunbridge Wells Business Awards will take place at Thackeray’s on December 17 and we very much look forward to welcoming the winners there to collect their award.
Each one will be notified a week before the event so they can enjoy cocktails, canapés and celebrations at this legendary Tunbridge Wells restaurant.
