Why The ABBBAs? ✨

This is more than just an awards ceremony – it’s the must-attend event for any Bromley business owner who wants to be seen, celebrated and truly connected. The ABBBAs offers a golden opportunity to shine a spotlight on your business, build powerful local relationships and be part of something bigger. We consistently promote the event in our trio of community magazines in the run-up to The ABBBAs. That means that more than 21,000 local residents and businesses discover more about this inspiring and uplifting initiative. It’s a night to celebrate success, champion your peers and soak up the electric atmosphere – all while enjoying fantastic food, inspiring stories and a touch of glamour. Plus, you’ll be helping to raise vital funds for our chosen charity, CASPA. Don’t miss your moment – this is where Bromley’s business stars come together!

A 'sneak peek' behind the scenes 🍿

This month we've been looking to secure additional sponsors, with RBC Brewin Dolphin, Judge & Priestley, The Beckenham Business Association and 12:30 The Women's Company all expressing an interest in supporting The ABBBAs. We also hosted the judges' lunch, where our five judges for this year met with the committee (and the compere) to learn more about the judging process, which is completely impartial and unbiased. The judges now have access to their individual judging folders, with everything now underway!

We hope to see you at this year's event - every year has been a sell out event with a few disappointed people on the waiting list unable to join us, so please ensure you book early to secure your ticket. Finally, please forward this email on to friends, colleagues and businesses so that they don't miss out on what will be an amazing evening - and the chance to win an award of course!

With our very best regards,

The ABBBAs’ Committee
