The Dartford Business Awards, organised by Dartford Borough Council, are back again this year to recognise, reward and celebrate the achievements of many inspiring local companies. With so many trading locally in the town it’s not surprising that once again there have been a large number of entries.

All awards are free to enter and designed to cater for every size of business, from the smallest to the largest in the borough, and are here to recognise, reward and celebrate the achievements of the local business community.

Entrants and winners can expect to receive a number of business-building benefits, such as promotion through media and networking opportunities.

To enter your business in the Dartford Business Awards you must be based in the Dartford Borough Council business rates areas, and must have been trading for a full year to January 1st, 2019.

You can still enter the Dartford Business Awards up until the deadline of 5pm Monday 19 August 2019.
