Celebrating Business Success in Eastbourne
The Eastbourne Business Awards bring together businesses of all sizes and highlight the people and organisations helping the area prosper.
The awards are a longstanding part of the local business calendar, with categories covering a wide range of sectors and achievements.
Businesses can be nominated by customers, colleagues or members of the public. After nominations close, entries are reviewed and a shortlist is created. Judging then takes place in September, with finalists selected by the judging panel before winners are chosen and announced at the awards evening.
