2025 BUSINESS AWARDS SPONSORS

Sponsoring Best Creative Sector Business

Wandsworth prides itself on providing opportunity for all their communities, combining economic dynamism with fairness and compassion, demonstrating the best of modern Britain.

They recognise the considerable contribution businesses make to Wandsworth by providing jobs for local people and supporting the economic vitality of the borough. They want to shine the spotlight on their best entrepreneurs and to inspire others to follow in their footsteps. 

They know that running a business today can be challenging, which is why the Council is constantly exploring ways to help, whether it’s working to develop innovative policies such as their Night-time Strategy or bidding for funds to bring about improvements such as investment from the Council’s Affordable Workspace Fund. This has allowed them to develop and provide a range of new workplaces across the borough which offer the use of industry-standard technical facilities such as recording studios and incubator units, co-working areas and free business support.

They continue to work with Planning Policy to strengthen policies to support town centers and high streets and ensure they thrive into the future. 

The Council is delighted to be sponsoring the Best Creative Sector Business category at this year’s awards, especially as Wandsworth is London Borough of Culture this year and would like to wish all the nominees the best of luck.
