WINNER OF THE BRIGHTON & HOVE BUSINESS AWARDS 2021 REVEALED

Brighton & Hove’s brightest and best businesses have been honoured at a ceremony that celebrated the great achievements of businesses large and small

The awards, presented by TV broadcaster Natasha Kaplinsky, were held online with a ground-breaking virtual event on June 24th and praised the thriving fi rms that have overcome huge challenges posed by the past year.

Mike Herd, former Executive Director at the Sussex Innovation Centre, took the role as Chair of Judges.

Mike commented: “Having received a record level of entries to this year’s BAHBAs, judges had the unenviable task of selecting winners across all 14 categories.

“Each of the winners has demonstrated impressive levels of innovation and ingenuity. They represent the kind of entrepreneurial spirit we need in the business community, particularly as the economy continues to recover. This year more than ever, I want to congratulate the category winners on their success”.
