The Croydon Business Excellence Awards will return live and in-person this autumn, and this year a record 161 entries for local businesses were received.

The community came out in force to show some local love for their favourite businesses, shortlisted across a range of categories to celebrate those businesses that go above and beyond for their customers and the community.

The Awards, which are brought together by White Label, will in autumn bring the business world together for a night of celebration.

Voting is open until 5pm Friday 9 September, so be sure to make yours count and support your favourite Croydon business.

This year’s awards are sponsored by London South Bank University (LSBU) Croydon.

Richard Fenn, director of London South Bank University (LSBU) Croydon, said: “We’re proud to sponsor the Croydon Business Excellence Awards. This is a great opportunity to celebrate local businesses and they work they do to deliver for their customers and the community.”
