The winners and nominees of the Discover Fulham Business Awards 2022
Fulham's favourite businesses have been honoured at the borough's first Discover Fulham Business Awards, organised by the Fulham Business Improvement District (BID).
The public were invited to vote for their favourite businesses in nine categories, showcasing the best of Fulham's vibrant and diverse business community.
The winners were revealed on Thursday (1 December) at a ceremony at Chelsea Football Club's Stamford Bridge stadium.
Cllr Ben Coleman, Deputy Leader of Hammersmith & Fulham Council, said: "It is great to see the wealth of entrepreneurial talent in Fulham recognised in this way. It is also really encouraging to see the difference the Fulham BID is making in supporting local firms at this tough time."
Andy Bell, manager of Fulham Broadway BID, said: "Congratulations to all the category winners and nominees. Fulham has a thriving business community, and this has been the perfect opportunity to celebrate all that Fulham has to offer.
"Over the last few years, many businesses have experienced challenges. Nevertheless, through innovation and perseverance, many have been able to adapt to the changing business environment. Celebrating those who have achieved success in their fields is appropriate."
