2011 Business awards
And the winners are….
The fourth Barking and Dagenham Business Awards Gala Ceremony took place last night (Tuesday 5th July 2011) at The Broadway, Barking. The Gala awards event was hosted by BBC London’s Paul Ross and was attended by more than 250 people from local businesses.
Speaking at the event, Paul Bishop, Business Relationship Manager for Barking and Dagenham Enterprise said: “This year we were really pleased with the quality and number of entries. The judges had a really difficult time trying to decide on the winners, so anyone who was shortlisted did really well and the winners were exceptional. There are some fantastic businesses and brilliant entrepreneurs in Barking & Dagenham and the awards are a great place to recognise what they are doing. I would also like to give a big thank you to our sponsors who have made these awards possible.”
