Ealing businesses are celebrating after winning big at the West London Business Awards which took place on 24 February 2023 at Twickenham Stadium.
The gala event, attended by over 400 people, was hosted by impressionist and comedian Rory Bremner following an introduction to the evening by West London Business CEO Andrew Dakers.
This year’s event, which also celebrates its 10th anniversary, saw a number of Ealing-based companies including logistics, food and IT firms competing in categories such as Food & Drink Business of the Year, High-growth SME and Park Royal Business of the Year.
It was also a night of giving back and helping others. An auction for the West London Business Awards charity partner, Young Ealing Foundation to support its work with young people across Ealing raised £2841.
