South London Business has revealed the categories for the inaugural South London Business Awards.

The awards, which are sponsored by the Croydon Guardian, will be officially launched next month and will include gongs for best company, small business, new business, customer service, excellence in training and development, business person and marketing.

The launch event will be held at the Jury's Inn hotel, Croydon, on Tuesday, November 28 and prospective entrants are asked to submit their forms by Friday, February 23.

Each of the business award winners will receive an engraved trophy, to be presented at an awards dinner next year.

Organisers said winners could look forward to media coverage, a valuable sales and marketing boost and the enhanced staff motivation that comes from working for an award-winning organisation.
