West London Business Awards 2024 Shortlist Revealed

4 January 2024 – The 11th annual West London Business Awards once again celebrate the sub-region’s world-class talent and business excellence…  

The West London Business Awards continue the tradition of recognising the best of business across the sub-region by today revealing nominees for the 2024 shortlist. Now in their 11th year, the awards recognise organisations big and small for their achievements in making West London the best place to do business. Since nominations opened in July, entries have been received from across a range of industries and the judging process has been highly competitive. All shortlisted organisations are congratulated for making this stage of the awards process.
With the shortlist now confirmed, we are delighted to announce that Twickenham Stadium will once again host the Gala Dinner and Awards ceremony on Friday 16 February 2024. Tickets are now available to join in the celebrations with finalists, West London Business members and key stakeholders across the region. Book your awards night tickets today.

As usual, awards night will present a few surprises in addition to the announced shortlist; with Park Royal Business of the Year, West London Business Leader of the Year, Lifetime Achievement Award and West London Company of the Year 2024 to be revealed at Twickenham.

West London Business CEO and judging panel member, Andrew Dakers said:

“As ever, the judges were diligent in selecting the finalists and I thank them all for their continued service in supporting our assessment process.

“In revealing the shortlist, we are once again pleased to see the quality of entries is of a high standard and we will be crowning some truly worthy winners. Those that made the grade can be justly proud of their status as a West London Business Awards finalist.

“The Awards team are looking forward to the ceremony and welcoming representatives from all shortlisted organisations to Twickenham Stadium for what will be a grand occasion celebrating the best in the west!”
