Following the success of last year's Local Business Awards, I knew I wanted to expand the number of categories, to get more people voting and more of our fantastic local businesses recognised!
What's more - it would seem the people of Carshalton and Wallington agreed! We have had some fantastic engagement, both from the businesses and local residents. After a hard-fought competition in a number of categories, it was great to be able to present the winners with their awards at a special ceremony at the CryerArts Centre!
So without further ado, the winners were:
Best local coffee shop - Fresco
Best local takeaway - Wallington Express
Best local club/entertainment/leisure business - Presto! Performing Arts
Best local charity shop - Cancer Research UK, Carshalton High Street
Best local health and wellbeing business - Nelly Keung Health & Beauty Centre
Best local micro/online business - Styled Right
Best hairdressers/barbers/beauty salons - NJR Barbers
One of the best local businesses - Enchanted Florists
Best local convenience/corner store - Stanley Park Londis
Best local pharmacy - Anna Pharmacy
Best local restaurant - Il Laghetto
Best local DIY/furniture shop - Mark Fisher
I hope you'll agree that our local businesses are the backbone of our local communities and that you'll remember to support them - especially at this time of year!
Here's to 2023's awards!
