Stand up comedian Stephen Grant announced the winners of the 5th annual Brighton and Hove Business Awards at the Hilton Brighton Metropole no Friday 26 September. The gala business event was attended by over 400 business representatives from across the city.

The title of Outstanding Brightonian was awarded to Peter Field, who was recently appointed Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant for East Sussex, and has involved himself in the issues facing single homeless people in Brighton for over 40 years.

Other big winners on the night were Leapfrogg, which was named best place to work, Infinity Foods claimed the responsible business award whilst The Gingerman Restaurants took the award for Business Growth.

In addition, all food to be served at the event was locally sourced by the Hilton Metropole, reducing the BAHBA carbon footprint.
