All of our categories are judged independently by the category sponsor, we check for impartiality between judges and entrants so if there is any conflict of interest, a third party will oversee the judging.
Our judges will be carrying out their shortlisting and assesement meetings from Early December until the begining of February. The finalist announcement will then happen on the 9th February so make sure you keep an eye on your emails!
The winners of the Gatwick Diamond Business Awards 2024 will be announced on 21st March 2024 at The Grand, Brighton!
All Award winners will have shown innovation and inspiration in their work and demonstrated a real commitment to this world-class economic area.
The evening will get off to a flying start with a pre-dinner reception, sponsored by Cleankill Pest Control and rounded off in style with live music and an opportunity to network and celebrate at our After-Show Party.
