Local businesses have always been at the forefront of the local community and this year Archant London is rewarding small businesses with a chance of winning a share of £100,000 in marketing and PR spend.
It is times like these where we need to show our support and no one could be more deserving than our local businesses. This is a fantastic opportunity for local businesses to endorse their brand and get the recognition they deserve for their continued hard work and unwavering determination to persevere.
This year’s guest host, Environmental Campaigner and Motivational Speaker, Lewis Gordon Pugh will be on hand to announce the winners at the official awards ceremony’s in autumn. Lewis has pioneered more swims around famous landmarks than any other swimmer in history, and is most famous for being the first person to complete a long distance swim at the North Pole.
He now regularly speaks to businesses on leadership, teamwork and achieving the impossible. Lewis has often overcome treacherous conditions to campaign for his cause, his unique perspective on facing extreme challenges will echo the challenges local businesses face in these challenging times.
