How long have the awards been running?
This is the tenth year of the awards. However, we changed the name to the Thames Gateway Business Awards in 2005 from the East London and Essex Business Awards.
There are 16 categories; each category will have a shortlist of 5 finalists.
What can I get out of the awards?
Winners will receive a very prestigious solid steel trophy along with a £1000 advertising deal within Archant London Business to Business Life publication. Business of the year will receive a £5000 deal within Archant London Business to Business Life publication.
Do I have to pay to enter the awards?
No, there is no payment needed to enter the awards. Tickets can be purchased by calling Karanjit Dhesi on 020 8477 3925.
Can I enter the awards even though I have entered in previous years?
Yes. Successful businesses continue from strength to strength and should be recognised for that achievement. Previous finalists and winners are welcome to enter again this year in as many categories as they wish.
Will the information on my entry form remain confidential?
Only Archant London will have access to the entry forms.
