For a decade the West London Business Awards has celebrated excellence in the sub-region. Almost thirty awards categories recognise a broad range of business performance areas, as well as individuals. The gala dinner, in recent years at Twickenham Stadium in February, is a highlight of the local business community calendar.
Several WLB Awards winners, such as JGA Group and Wrapology, have subsequently gone on to win the Queen’s Award for Enterprise.
