The shortlist has been drawn up for this year's Leatherhead and District Business Awards.

Entries for this year's awards have been judged by a panel of senior executives from organisations across the district to create the shortlist for six categories.

Chairman of the judges John Hickey, President of the Leatherhead and District Chamber of Commerce, said he is thrilled with the quality and quantity of entries.

He said: "Leatherhead and district's diverse business community has embraced this awards scheme, in which 43 local companies received a total of 345 nominations across the awards categories."

The headline sponsors of the awards are ExxonMobil, Mole Valley District Council, The Leatherhead and District Chamber of Commerce and The Leatherhead Area Partnership.

The winners will be announced at an Awards Ceremony at Cherkley Court and Gardens on January 28 next year.
