Categories Recognise South East Businesses Going ‘Above And Beyond’ In 2022

Irwin Mitchell has joined forces with The Business Magazine as one of the sponsors of the first Surrey Kent Sussex (SKS) 250 Listings Awards in 2022.

Developed to celebrate the top 250 performing privately owned businesses who have shown resilience during what has been a difficult period, the awards will celebrate those firms in the South East who have adapted and innovated to meet recent challenges, while continuing to grow and expand.

Out of the top 250 businesses listed, local firms and business leaders have been shortlisted across six categories, including CEO of the Year; Finance Director of the Year; the International Business Award; Innovation and Tech Award and the Growth and Resilience Award of the Year. Irwin Mitchell is sponsoring the Management Team of the Year Award.

Recognised as an independent voice of business, The Business Magazine covers the Thames Valley and Southern Regions, with features and news catering for those operating in the local economy.

Expert Opinion

“We’re delighted to be able to sponsor what are the first awards of their kind, recognising and celebrating some of the amazing work that local businesses are doing in this region.

“Choosing the finalists for the Management Team of the year Award was hard when so many of the businesses we met have shown great credentials and everyone nominated and shortlisted can be proud of their achievements.

“Many of these organisations and people represent some of the real unsung heroes of the local economy and it’s a pleasure to be able to recognise their efforts over the past year. The awards showcase the depth and breadth of quality of business we have in the South East and it gives great confidence for the future success of the local business community.” Katie Byrne - Partner & Joint National Head of Commercial Dispute Resolution

To qualify for the listing, businesses needed to be within the top 250 performing independent, privately owned companies and to have headquarters in the region.

The winners will be announced at an exclusive dinner and business networking event at the RAC Club, near Epsom, on Thursday 30 June.
