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 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.
