GDBA 2025 Finalists Are Announced!

So, who are the best businesses in the Gatwick Diamond Region? You’ll need to wait until the 20^th of March to find out, but the finalists in each of the categories for the prestigious Gatwick Diamond Business Awards have now been announced.

The Gatwick Diamond is home to a vast range of businesses, spanning all sectors of the economy, from household names to niche companies, and from multinationals to sole traders. So, the winner of a Gatwick Diamond Business Award must stand out in this impressive business community.

All Award winners will have shown innovation and inspiration in their work and demonstrated a real commitment to this world-class economic area.

Winners will be announced on the 20th of March, in the Empress Suite of The Grand Hotel, Brighton, where our celebrity host, Ben Hanlin, will present the Awards and entertain us through the evening. A special thank you goes to all of our sponsors, partners and inparticular our Headline Sponsors – London Gatwick, Birketts LLP and Gatwick Diamond Initiative.

The evening will get off to a flying start with a pre-dinner reception sponsored by Cleankill Pest Control and will be rounded off in style with live music and an opportunity to network and celebrate at our After-Show Party.

Sally Brown, Director and General Manager of Gatwick Diamond Business said “We would like to thank all the people who took time out of their busy schedules to prepare and submit awards entries this year and congratulate those who have been selected as finalists in each category. The entries get stronger year on year so that in itself is a huge achievement and worthy of celebration”.
