Brighton and Hove Business Awards

Brighton’s business elite turned up to celebrate an exceptional year of business in the city at the 11th annual Brighton and Hove Business Awards at All Saints Church on Thursday 15 September.

VIPs, guests and past award-winners were welcomed with a drinks reception before the evening’s entertainment began with Bollywood dancers. Food and drink then followed, thanks to the excellent catering skills of Curry Leaf Café and Brighton Gin.

MC for the night, comedian Stephen Grant, then took to the stage to present the hotly-contested awards, with plenty of worthy winners overjoyed to collect their BAHBA.

The night was closed out in style as everyone made their way to the dance floor to celebrate a fantastic year of business in Brighton and Hove.
