Boost your business by entering Merton Best Business Awards 2017
As Gold sponsors, Love Wimbledon believes the Merton Best Business Awards are a great opportunity for local businesses, not only to participate in, increase brand exposure and network with local businesses but importantly, to WIN.
Through our involvement with these awards we have seen first hand, and received feedback from our BID businesses on the value of participating in the process to re-evaluate, develop and revitalise your business model, your service offering or simply, what it is that you do best.

Eligo Recruitment on their involvement in the Awards and what winning has meant:
“It has raised our profile especially within the local community. In turn, the local community recognising us as an excellent business has served us well in reaching out to other clients and candidates across our markets.”
Would you apply again?
“Absolutely, the whole experience is beneficial to the business, the awareness of our business, and more importantly, team morale within it.”
And what would your advice be to other businesses looking to apply?
“Have faith in your business and though you might not think you have one, absolutely tell your story. Not only is it an excellent chance to personally reflect on your journey and successes, it will give you a chance to engage with your team, customers, and clients. It’s likely you’ll learn many new things in doing so.”
Applications close at 5pm on Friday 16 June. Please visit Merton Best Business Awards for more details including terms & conditions.
The awards dinner for finalists will be held at Epsom Racecourse on Wednesday 27 September.
