Celebrating Excellence at the Merton Business Awards 2023

Posted by

Last night marked an exceptional occasion as the Merton business community gathered at AFC Wimbledon to celebrate the Merton Best Business Awards 2023. It was a night filled with recognition, celebration, and the carnival-themed vibes that set the stage for a memorable evening.

Organised by the Merton Chamber of Commerce, this event provided a well-deserved spotlight for businesses to shine, honouring their dedication, innovation, and outstanding achievements. The awards featured a wide range of categories, including the Independent Business Award, Best Customer Service, Sustainable Impact, Best New Business and the category that we sponsored Best in the Property Sector plus many others, showcasing the diverse talent within Merton’s business landscape.

We were particularly delighted to be a Gold Sponsor of the event, supporting and celebrating the incredible businesses in our local community. Stewart Rolfe, attended on behalf of our company, noted “Sponsoring an award at the Merton Best Business Awards was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up. It allowed us to align our brand with excellence, innovation, and dedication – values we hold dear. We are immensely proud to be part of an event that recognises and celebrates the achievements of local businesses, who contribute significantly to the growth and prosperity of our community.”

The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly Home Instead Wimbledon & Kingston, who clinched not one, but two prestigious awards: the ‘Digital Excellence Award’ and ‘Top Woman in Business’, ultimately being named ‘Best Business in Merton’. Their ability to adapt and leverage technology during challenging times left a lasting impression on the judges.

Clare Jefferies, the driving force behind Home Instead Wimbledon & Kingston, delivered a touching and emotional speech, expressing her gratitude, “I’ve been running my business for 13 years, and all I think of is delivering the best care I possibly can for older people in their homes…that’s what we do, and we do it really well. My team makes every day special for an older person in Merton, and I’d like to say thanks to my team and all my 150 carers…this award is for them!”

Diana Sterck, CEO of Merton Chamber of Commerce, the mastermind behind these awards, summed up the evening beautifully: “Last night was fantastic! We spent a long time planning these awards and put a lot of effort into giving the business community a night to remember.”

As we reflect on this remarkable event, we offer our congratulations to all the winners and finalists. We were honoured to be part of this unforgettable evening. We would also like to extend our sincere congratulations to the winners of our sponsored award category, Lewis & Co, and the runners up, Russell Hewes Limited. It was a delight to meet you and present you with your award.
