Have you entered Seahaven’s 18th Annual Business Awards?
If you run a business in Seaford, Newhaven or Peacehaven, the annual SBA’s, as they are known, are an excellent opportunity to gain recognition for your business in East Sussex. The Seahaven Business Awards celebrate professionalism, creativity, innovation and business excellence and are an important feature in the local business calendar. Winners include businesses from every sector and provide business owners, small and large, the chance to shine and tell people about their company’s success story. The awards are run in conjunction with Seaford Chamber of Commerce and Peacehaven & District Chamber of Commerce. Deadline for entries is Friday 24 March, 2023.
Business Awards host
