Now in their 15th year, the Awards are a well-established highlight of the business calendar and are strongly supported by the Gatwick Diamond business community with Headline Sponsors for 2023, Elekta Ltd and Gatwick Airport Ltd.

 

Celebrating the achievements of individual businesses and business people across a wide range of categories, they also showcase the success of the Gatwick Diamond economic area as major driver of the regional and national economies.

 

This year’s ceremony was hosted by the charmingly straight-talking, quick-witted Kerry Godliman, one of the country's best performers and both an incredibly talented comedian and a phenomenal actor.

 

The Evening started with a Pre-Dinner Reception sponsored by Castle Corporate Finance and was rounded- off with the now highly anticipated After-Show Party.
