Global fragrance leader Quintessence Fragrances joins Seahaven Business Awards 2026 as Gold Sponsor
The Seahaven Business Awards 2026 are set to return for their 21st anniversary, celebrating the professionalism, creativity, innovation and resilience of businesses across Newhaven, Seaford and Peacehaven.
Taking place on Friday 8 May 2026 at the Amex Stadium, the Awards remain one of the most anticipated events in the local business calendar, bringing together entrepreneurs, employers, creatives and community leaders to recognise outstanding achievement across the region.
This year’s Awards are proudly supported by a distinct range of local sponsors, whose generosity and commitment ensure the event’s continued success. This year, Quintessence Fragrances has joined the 2026 Awards as a Gold Sponsor, supporting a celebration that reflects the strength and variety of businesses in the Seahaven area.
Managing Director Grant Warden said: “Quintessence Fragrances’ factory and research centre have been in the Newhaven area since it started in 1984, so some 40 years later, we are delighted to be a gold sponsor of the Seahaven Business Awards.
Quintessence has grown to become a globally respected creator of fragrances, supplying many of the top retailers with fragrances for all our homes. This has been made possible through the talent and commitment of our dedicated teams here in Newhaven, so on behalf of all our staff, as well as the many other exceptional companies in our area, it’s a privilege to be part of these awards.”
The 2026 Awards will recognise excellence across seven categories, including Business of the Year, Businessperson of the Year, Best New Business, Best Customer Service, Best Leisure and Tourism Business, Best Health and Wellbeing Business, and the President’s Award for Artistic Enterprise.
From ambitious start-ups and independent creatives to established manufacturers and service providers, the Awards reflect the diversity and strength of the local business community.
Entries are now open and close on 13 March 2026. Businesses based in Newhaven, Seaford, Peacehaven and the local district are encouraged to enter and share their success stories.
