Helen Marshall, Chair of Chichester BID says: “It’s fantastic to see so many of our city’s businesses recognised in these awards. They’re the beating heart of Chichester – combining creativity, dedication and a real commitment to community.”
Hosted at Chichester Festival Theatre on Monday 3 November, the awards will bring together businesses, community leaders and partners for an evening of celebration — with a keynote address from the Theatre’s Artistic Director, Justin Audibert.
As a partner, Chichester BID has helped shape both the award categories and the overall format to ensure they reflect the breadth and strength of our local economy – from independent retailers and hospitality venues to professional services and creative enterprises.
We wish all finalists the very best of luck and look forward to an inspiring evening at the Festival Theatre’s Minerva Bar and Grill on 3 November celebrating everything that makes our city centre such a vibrant place to live, work and visit.
