Epsom Downs Racecourse, part of Jockey Club Venues, will host the inaugural Surrey Business Awards on 4th October 2018, which have been designed to celebrate the achievements of Surrey-based businesses.
Surrey’s business economy was worth more than £40.1 billion in 2016, and made up 16% of the economy in the South East of England. The awards, in association with the Surrey Chamber of Commerce, follow the footsteps of large-scale local clients who regularly hire space at Epsom Downs Racecourse, such as Toyota, Unilever and Queen Elizabeth Foundation.
The fifteen categories are designed to herald outstanding corporate achievements in the region over the past year and include the prestigious ‘Company of the Year’ and ‘International Business of the Year’, as well as specific awards to recognise impressive growth, innovation and exceptional customer service.
The awards ceremony will be hosted in the Diomed Suite, located on 1st floor of the Duchess’s Stand, which can host up to 400 people. The evening will consist of a gala dinner and awards.
Simon Durrant, general manager at Epsom Downs Racecourse said: “It’s an honour to host the first Surrey Business Awards at Epsom Downs. The Diomed Suite provides a stunning backdrop for the awards ceremony. As a racecourse, we’re the birthplace of elite racing winners, and now we’re excited to be part of the success story for some of Surrey’s best businesses.”
