A total of 31 winners were recognised at the 2023 West London Business Awards.

Hosted by impressionist and comedian Rory Bremner and attended by over 400 business leaders, entrepreneurs, and VIPs, the Awards was held at Twickenham Stadium on Friday 24 February.

Andrew Dakers, Chief Executive of West London Business, said: “This was our tenth West London Business Awards, and undoubtedly our best yet. The entrepreneurs and businesses that won at the ceremony really earned their recognition, as there was stiff competition in all awards categories. The last few years have been incredibly challenging for all London businesses, but our winners show that West London is still one of the best places in the UK to launch a business, grow a company or start a career.”
