The finalists in each of the categories for the Gatwick Diamond Business Awards 2020 were announced on February 13th, but you’ll need to wait until March 19th to find out who the winners are.
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.
Our celebrity host, Gyles Brandreth, will present the Awards and entertain us through the evening. A special thank you to our Headline Sponsors - Gatwick Airport, NatWest, Thakeham and Extech Cloud.
The evening will get off to a flying start with a pre-dinner reception sponsored by Norwegian and rounded off with the highly anticipated after-show party.
