Cllr. Martin Seaton, Southwark Council’s Cabinet Member for Jobs, Skills and Business, said: “I am delighted to support the Southwark Business Excellence Awards for 2023. It aims to shine a light on the achievements of local Southwark businesses and recognise their role in uplifting our local economy.
“I was lucky to have attended the 2022 awards ceremony and was really impressed by the excitement and buzz in the room. It was clear how passionate the businesses were about what they do, and it was inspiring to see the awards bring them together.
“I would encourage all businesses in Southwark to get involved with the awards, whether that be by sponsoring the event or entering themselves. Take time to celebrate your successes, connect and create a supportive community, and aim for growth.”
