Our headline sponsor explain why they wanted to be involved

Here at Standardae­ro we were delighted to support and celebrate our local community and business neighbours as the primary sponsor of the 2024 Gosport Business Awards.

We believe these businesses, that are the pride and joy of their owners and employees should be celebrated as pillars of the community, delivering goods and services that benefit not only the residents of Gosport, but also the economic prosperity of the area. These companies showcase the best of human spirit to succeed, innovate, provide and progress and by celebratin­g these achievemen­ts together, we can inspire lots more of all of that for the coming year.

We would like to thank all the businesses that participat­ed, all whom deserve recognitio­n and praise for their efforts over the past year. However, in the spirit of friendly and supportive competitio­n, we would like to send our sincere congratula­tions to all the category winners who stood out amongst the very worthy and strong competitio­n. Our special congratula­tions of course are extended to the overall GBA 2024 winner, Blitz Photograph­y. Well done!
