The winners of the twenty third Sussex Business Awards and the seventh Brighton and Hove Business Awards were announced last night at The Grand hotel, Brighton.

The ceremony was attended by over 400 of the county’s leading business figures including the Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex Mr Peter Field, Mayor of Brighton and Hove Councillor Anne Meadows, John Barradell, Chief Executive of Brighton and Hove City Council and Caroline Lucas MP.

For the first time, the winners of the Sussex Business Awards and the Brighton and Hove Business Awards were announced in a joint ceremony. Eleven Sussex Business awards were presented by BBC1’s The Apprentice star, Ruth Badger.

Hailsham based Club Class Chauffeurs were runners up for two awards before managing director, Jonathan Dow received the accolade of Businessperson of the Year.

The Sussex Company of the Year (sponsored by Deloitte for ten years now) was presented to Parafix Holdings, the UK’s leading convertor and distributor of self adhesive materials, based in Lancing.

Five Brighton and Hove Business Awards (BAHBA), sponsored by The Argus, were presented including the Best Independent Retailer to The Book Nook Hotel which had previously received this accolade, whilst Hotel du Vin won the title of Best Place to Entertain Your Clients for an amazing fourth time! Tony Mernagh, Brighton & Hove Economic Partnership chaired the BAHBA judging panel.

Organiser Caraline Brown, managing director at Midnight Communications in Foundry Street, Brighton, said the move to consolidate the two award ceremonies ensured the greatest value to all entrants this year.

She said: “Brighton and Sussex companies have to make their marketing budgets stretch as far as possible in the current climate. By combining the two most important business awards ceremonies in the county we can help firms get the greatest return on their investment and we guarantee to provide the most memorable evening in the Sussex business community's calendar.”

Peter Field, Chair of the Sussex Business Awards judging panel and Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex added: “The Awards give our local businesses the chance to demonstrate great performance and excellence in their field. For 23 years Sussex Business Awards have led the way supporting and showcasing some of the most outstandingly successful individuals and businesses in Sussex. Even in difficult economic times the Awards demonstrate our thriving commercial community and what a terrific place Sussex is for creating and doing business.”
