Nominations are now open for the annual Seahaven Business Awards 2024!

The awards are open to any business with a BN25, BN10 OR BN9 postcode, and customer testimonials must be entered before April 2.

For many years, Seaford Chamber of Commerce has supported the Seahaven Business Awards.

A spokesperson for the Seaford Chamber of Commerce said: “Last year, Seaford businesses swept the board with awards so we want to repeat that success and would encourage you to enter this year. It's free and even the shortlisted businesses for each category receive publicity - so what have you got to lose?

“If you have satisfied customers (and we are sure you do!) then just ask them to write a few lines about why you, or your business, deserves to win in your chosen category. You can then use these to support your entry. You can enter on-line or complete an application form - oh and did we mention it is free?”

The categories are: Business of the Year, Business Person of the Year, Best Environmental Business, Best Customer Service, Best New Business (under 2 years old), Best Health, Fitness and Wellbeing Business, The President’s Award for Artistic Enterprise.

All the information about the Seahaven Business Awards, together with entry forms and photographs from last year's Gala Dinner can be found on the Newhaven Chamber website.

According to the Newhaven Chamber of Commerce: “We have to thank our sponsors. Without their support, we would not be able to put on the events every year. We really appreciate the sponsorship and support from these local businesses.”

Previously, a spokesperson for the Seahaven Business Awards said: "The collaboration between Newhaven, Seaford and Peacehaven Chambers of Commerce demonstrates the importance of local businesses in creating better lives for everyone and the importance of contributing to the local economy.”

Last year’s winners included Havens Food Cooperative for Best Environmental Business, Newhaven’s West Quay Café for Best Eatery, and Yemeni Coffee House’s Yahya Al-Hattabi for Business Person of the Year.
