Your Best of Royal Greenwich Business Awards 2024 Winners
The time is finally here. Following months of anticipation, the Best of Royal Greenwich Business Awards winners have been announced.
The exciting moment for many of our local businesses took place at a glittering Awards ceremony at the InterContinental London - The O2 on Friday 7 February 2025, hosted by Baroness Hazarika MBE.
The Awards, organised by the council in association with LandsecU+I and supported by the South East London Chamber of Commerce, presented an opportunity to celebrate and showcase local businesses and their outstanding contributions to the borough in 2024.
Councillor Anthony Okereke, Leader of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, said: "Huge congratulations to our winners and finalists, who have achieved amazing things over the last year. Royal Greenwich is a world-class place for businesses to establish themselves and grow.
Our vision is to create an inclusive economy that works for everyone and does not leave anyone behind. Local businesses are vital in creating prosperity for local people, and we want to thank them for their important contributions to Royal Greenwich. From enlivening our town centres to providing jobs, they are the backbone of our community."
Councillor Jackie Smith, Cabinet Member for Inclusive Economy, Business, Skills and Greenwich Supports – and Head Judge – said: "It was wonderful to celebrate our incredible winners and finalists at the ceremony on Friday. Competition was high across all categories this year, so choosing who would win was no easy feat.
"This year's winners reflect the exciting range of industries in the borough – from AI to education, fashion to physiotherapy, food stalls to furniture design and local support services to world-class attractions. We are so proud of our business community; the Business Awards are our chance to shine a light on their remarkable achievements."
