23 Jan Finalists of the Kingston Borough Business Awards announced
The finalists of the Kingston Borough Business Awards have been revealed.
More than 200 entries were submitted across 14 categories to the campaign which celebrates the positive impact of local businesses across the borough of Kingston with credibility, independence and pride.
Winners of the Awards, run by Kingston Chamber of Commerce with Kingston University as headline sponsor, will be announced at a celebration event in March.
Finalists were chosen by a panel consisting of highly professional and respected figures from the business community. They, in turn, were overseen by an adjudicator to ensure the judging has been carried out fairly.
