Surrey’s most successful businesses descended on Sandown Park Racecourse, on Thursday February 7, as they attended the annual Surrey Business Awards.
The evening began with a champagne reception followed by a four-course dinner and finally the Oscar-style awards ceremony took over proceedings.
"Taking part in the Surrey Business Awards has been an exciting experience,” said Andrew Reynolds, who was named Surrey Business Person of the Year and also picked up the Small Business Award. “It's great to receive such public recognition of our achievements from the Surrey business community."
