Last night, at a brilliant and atmospheric awards night, the Merton business community came together to celebrate, reward their teams and enjoy the glamorous ceremony at New Wimbledon Theatre.

The ceremony, organised by Merton Chamber of Commerce, was a great opportunity for businesses to be recognised for their innovation, dedication and brilliance. With categories such as Best Use of Innovation, Best Community Impact and Best New Business, there was a huge variety of areas for different businesses to demonstrate their excellence.
