Uckfield Business Awards Presentation Dinner
Last week Lawson Commercial partners Chris & Julia Lawson supported by negotiator Robin Mallinder, together with their guests including Chairman of East Sussex County Council Roy Galley, attended the Uckfield Business Awards Presentation Dinner.
Lawson Commercial were absolutely delighted to be the sponsor of the Small Business of the Year Award. This was a large category with over 20 entries and Chris said it was a difficult decision coming down to a short list of three let alone chosing a final winner. Ultimately, however, they picked Mobility Audio Vision based in Uckfield High Street with Chris presenting the Award on stage.
It was a lively evening showcasing the wide variety of businesses in Uckfield and congratulations to the Chamber for organising the event successfully once again.
Looking forward to 2026.
