The nominations are open, and it’s time to shine a spotlight on the businesses that make Eastbourne a brilliant place to live, work and thrive.
The Eastbourne Business Awards (EBA’s) return on Friday 10th October at the Winter Garden, and whether you’re a Chamber member or not, you're welcome to take part. It’s completely free to nominate, and this year’s celebration promises to be the biggest yet.
Being nominated for an award is a fantastic way to recognise hard work, build team morale and raise your profile locally. This year, the EBA’s are going even further in rewarding excellence, offering some incredible benefits for winners:
A complimentary consultation with Insight6, experts in market research and customer experience.
Learn how your customers really see you, through techniques like mystery shopping, customer journey mapping, focus groups, training, mentoring and more.
A free professional profile video to celebrate and promote your win.
Full coverage in local media, bringing valuable PR and recognition to both winners and sponsors.
Don’t worry if writing about your business isn’t your strong point – help is at hand! Workshops will be held both online and in person to guide you through the nomination process. These sessions are free and open to all.
📧 To book a spot, simply email: info@eastbournechamber.co.uk
Nominations are open for businesses across Eastbourne and surrounding areas, including Bexhill, Battle, Pevensey, Westham, Hailsham, Polegate, East Dean, Alfriston, Seaford, Chalvington, Ripe – and everywhere in between.
Whether it’s a client, supplier or your own business, putting a name forward is a great way to show appreciation. Celebrate those who go above and beyond – from accountants and architects to cafés and creatives – there’s a category for everyone.
As a not-for-profit event run by the Eastbourne Chamber of Commerce, the EBA’s rely on the support of sponsors to make it all happen. We're proud to welcome back W Bruford as headline sponsor, with all award categories now supported.
That said, opportunities remain for programme sponsors and those looking to support the event in other ways.
📧 To find out more, contact Christina Ewbank at the Chamber office.
The Eastbourne Business Awards aren’t just about trophies – they’re also a fantastic night out. Enjoy a three-course dinner, drinks, and a chance to network and celebrate with fellow business leaders, colleagues, and clients.
The evening also helps raise thousands of pounds for local charities, giving you even more reason to celebrate.
Keep an eye on the EBA’s website for updates and book your table early to avoid disappointment.
