THE 19TH ANNUAL SEAHAVEN BUSINESS AWARDS 

WE ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE OUR 2024 AWARD FINALISTS 

As we get closer to the grand Awards Ceremony and Dinner on 17th May, we would like to celebrate the achievement of our finalists and congratulation to all those who have made it to the final. The number of entries was very high and our 7 judges had a difficult job selecting the finalists from over 100 companies.

We would like to thank everyone who submitted entries for their businesses, and to the hundreds of people who submitted nomination forms for the businesses they felt deserved recognition.

Our MC for the Awards this year is John Young, well known for presenting and reporting BBC News for over 30 years. The Awards Ceremony & Dinner will be attended by our local MPs Maria Caulfield and Lloyd Russell Moyle, Leader of Lewes District Council Cllr. Zoe Nicholson, and the Mayors of Seaford, Newhaven and Peacehaven.

The glittering awards evening at Jerrom Hall, Peacehaven will commence with a reception and a three-course dinner before the seven awards are announced. With many thanks to our gold sponsors for the night, Charles Cox Group and our silver sponsors, Lewes District Council.
