KEiBA gala evening tickets sell out
The first ever Kent Excellence in Business Awards
(KEiBA) ceremony is a sell out with almost 500 tickets being
snatched up by Kent’s business community.
The glittering celebration event, which is
being held at Leeds Castle on 2 July, attracted almost 200 entries,
with 27 companies and individuals making it to the finals.
Kevin Lynes from Kent County Council said:
“KEiBA is set to become the key business event of the year in Kent.
It is clear from the large number of ticket sales that people want
to celebrate with staff even during these difficult economic times
and that businesses are still thriving. It also provides
businesses an opportunity to network and do even more
business”.
Geraldine Allinson, Chairman of KM Group,
said: "KEiBA is a fantastic opportunity to reward businesses for
their exceptional performances. It shows clearly that Kent is a
great county to establish and grow a business in. Hopefully KEiBA
will help attract businesses to Kent which will further
enhance our vibrant economy."
Winners will receive a trophy and it’s hoped
that the awards will also boost staff morale and help attract new
staff. Winning an award will also help businesses raise their
profile in Kent.
KEiBA is staged and produced by Kent County
Council and the KM Group to recognise and reward excellence in Kent
businesses. The 11 categories recognise companies of all sizes as
well as individual awards.
