About the Business Awards

This year our Business Awards will recognise organisations who are working hard to boost local economic growth and provide opportunities that benefit their local communities and the wider borough.

As well as this, the Council will promote award winners through our existing channels, such as this website, social media, Lewisham Life and local media.
