Organisers of the Richmond Business Awards are urging local companies to get their entries in for this year’s awards, as they work tirelessly behind the scenes

The event is organised by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce and Richmond and Twickenham Times. There are 14 categories this year with entries closing on September 30, at 5 pm.

This year Greg Dyke will be presenting the awards this year, with Zac Goldsmith and Sir Vince Cable also in attendance.

The categories are judged by an independent panel of judges. The gala event is helped by the hard work of a big lighting, sound, video, photograph and entertainment team. The RFU and Twickenham Experience Company event teams also help deliver the event.

This year the awards are sponsored by CuraCare, The Lensbury, Harlequins Rugby Bluebird Care, Butterworth Laboratories, Sheraton Interior, Minesoft and London Square.

Chamber CEO Anne Newton thanked everyone who is working to make the awards possible, including the organisers and sponsors.

There are 13 categories to enter online at https://www.richmondbusinessawards.com. The People’s Choice is voted on by the public online.

Thee awards take place on Friday, November 16 in the Live Room at Twickenham Stadium.
