More than 30 businesses make the grade as finalists for the Times Business Awards 2022 By Robert Forrester
THE deadline has passed, all the entrants have been counted and more than 30 local firms have been shortlisted for the business gala event of the year. With more than 100 applications returned, it has been one of the most heavily entered Times Business Awards since the event began back in 2016. Entrants this year have been incredibly varied ranging from hair salons and solicitors to recruitment and HR firms.
Challenging Following a challenging two years for the businesses in West Kent, those shortlisted have a chance to finally celebrate their success and resilience at the awards evening at Salomons Estate on March 24. Joining them and hosting this year’s awards will be none other than day-time TV legend and most recent host to GB News, Eamonn Holmes. The shortlisted entries will now be passed to the judging team, who have the unenviable task of choosing just one business from each of the ten categories to find an overall winner. Winners will be announced at the gala event itself, which promises to be one of the most eagerly anticipated networking events of the last two years. Richard Williams, editor of the Times of Tunbridge Wells said: “It never ceases to amaze me how varied and diverse the businesses in the area are. “The gala night on March 24 promises to be such an exciting night when we get to find out which of these fantastic businesses have won.”
