Helen's Back

After hosting the 2024 Eastbourne Business Awards so brilliantly, we are delighted to announce that Helen Lederer is coming back to host our awards in 2025!
Helen Lederer, the renowned comedian, actor and writer kept everyone on their toes when she presented the awards at the Winter Garden in 2024. She introduced all the sponsors and winners and was hilariously funny too! The evening showcased the most amazing businesses in the area and the winners are all listed below.
Entertainment will be provided by Alison Miskin's 360° Video Booth and the celebration will continue into the night with the excellent "Large", so make sure you enter the awards and join the party of the year.

The Eastbourne Business Awards 2025

Celebrating Excellence: EBA25

Watch this space for the date of next year’s awards in October. We will be running workshops to help businesses put together their applications so email us here if you would like to participate.
Eastbourne! The best place to live, work and play in the UK!

Eastbourne is recognised as the best connected town in the UK with average broadband speeds of over 700 mbps up and down-load speeds.
With beautiful beaches and stunning countryside, Eastbourne offers great work / life balance attracting talented business people and investment to the area.
But most importantly, East Sussex has the most positive enterprise culture because we all work together to overcome barriers to business and grow the local economy.
We are enterprising, socialising and realising our goals, together!

Whether you are a sole trader or a multi-national company, these business awards highlight not only the exemplary achievements of individual business people but also the collective impact of our joint business community. So we come together each year to celebrate the innovation, leadership, and commitment to social responsibility of the local businesses who drive our region forward and shape its future.

Come to the Eastbourne Business Awards – where excellence knows no bounds, and the possibilities are endless.
