Southwark Business Resilience Awards
WINNERS ANNOUNCED
Winners of the Southwark Business Resilience Awards in association with London South Bank University (LSBU) have been announced – with Bodytonic Clinic clinching Business of the Year. TV presenter Fayon Dixon hosted the Awards Ceremony which was streamed live from a studio to a virtual audience of more than 200. It was the finale in a programme that recognised the successes of the borough’s businesses when faced with the challenges and opportunities presented by COVID-19.
A total of 52 businesses were listed as finalists across nine categories with winners, highly commended and commended, decided by the 8,436 votes cast by the public. LSBU chose Bodytonic Clinic for Business of the Year. The osteopathy, health, beauty and fitness clinic, also won two category awards: Business Pivot and Outstanding Team.
Sarah Moore-Williams, Dean of LSBU Business School, said: “London South Bank University is very proud to be the lead sponsor of these awards again this year; recognising the creativity, innovation and sheer grit of our local business community. These are attributes which we inculcate within our own LSBU students as we prepare them to find their place in the world of work.”
The awards are managed on behalf of Southwark Chamber and Southwark Council with sponsors including Art-Invest Real Estate Management UK Ltd, Berkeley Homes (Capital) plc, British Land, Hollybrook Homes, Elephant & Castle Town Centre, Landsec, Lendlease, with Southwark News and Southwark Stands Together as supporters.
