Awards honor the best in London business

The 2018 Business Achievement Awards gala is taking place in London next month. The event is presented by the London Chamber of Commerce.

As one of the most important networking events of the year for London business leaders, it is likely that many of those people planning to attend will be placing a new business card printing order in advance. They will want to ensure that the cards have the most current contact information and that they have enough to exchange with their business peers.

The gala will likely start off with a cocktail reception where attendees can briefly discuss their own businesses with their peers. It will be followed by dinner and the awards presentation.

Nine awards are slated to be handed out, each of which has two finalists. Awards include Small Business of the Year, the Beyond Borders Award, Agribusiness of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility and Excellence in Human Resources. In addition, the Corporate Icon Award will be presented to a local business.

The Business Achievement Awards gala will be held at the London Convention Center on March 21 from 5:00 to 11:00 PM. Tickets are $148 for London Chamber of Commerce members and $170 for nonmembers, and tables of 10 are available.
