Since their inception in 2009, the awards are a well-established highlight of the business calendar and are strongly supported by the Gatwick Diamond business community with Headline Sponsors Birketts LLP, Chichester College Group, London Gatwick and Menzies.

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.

The 2026 Winners of the prestigious Gatwick Diamond Business Awards will be announced on the 19th March 2026, in the Empress Suite of The Grand Hotel, Brighton.

The evening kicks off with a pre-dinner drinks reception, sponsored by Cleankill Pest Control, before taking your seat for a sumptuous three course dinner and wine.

This Black Tie event will see the very best of the Gatwick Diamond Business community come together to celebrate the achievements of World-Class businesses in this World-Class region.
