A glittering awards ceremony was held last Friday (November 1) to announce the winners of the 25th annual Arun Business Awards.

Launched in 1999, the awards attracted more than 130 entries showcasing the wide variety of businesses within the district. The winners were drawn from an impressive array of entries with finalists announced last month.

Held at Fontwell Park Racecourse, the special anniversary ceremony was compèred by Miriam Nicholls, who runs the very successful Arun Business Partnership and is Business and Economy Manager at Arun District Council.
