The Eastbourne Business Awards 2023

500 guests attended this year’s Eastbourne Business Awards at the Winter Garden for a spectacular black-tie celebration. The brightest and best of Eastbourne’s business community attended for dinner, entertainment from Sound of the Crowd and the all-important awards ceremony, hosted by comedian Jo Enright. By the end of the evening there were guests dancing on the stage and the conga line stretched all around the room. We also raised over £8,000 for our chosen charities; You Raise Me Up and St Wilfrid’s Hospice.

Congratulations to the 2023 Winners Below!

The Business Awards recognise the hard work, talent and commitment at the heart of Eastbourne’s thriving economy. The night was a fantastic celebration of Eastbourne as the best place in the UK to live, work and play.
