Kent’s largest business awards are “the magnifying glass you need” to find the true potential of your company and drive success, according to a sponsor.

Hatten Wyatt, which is supporting the small business of the year category at KEiBA 2017, said there is “something for everyone” among the 16 awards to be won.

Lisa Cranney, a marketing executive at the Gravesend-based solicitor, described the event as “a fantastic opportunity to get your name out there and to share with Kent just what makes you so special”.

KEiBA 2017 – short for the Kent Excellence in Business Awards – is open for entries until Friday, February 24, with the awards presented at a gala evening in June.

Miss Cranney said: “KEiBA is exactly the magnifying glass you need to really see the great things that you have, and how much potential there still is.

“The point of these awards is to celebrate just how strong Kent is as a business community and to highlight the real talent and innovation within each and every one of our professions.

“Previous year’s winners have countless stories they can share about how these prestigious awards have made a positive difference to them, so why not give it a go?

“There’s no reason it can’t be you and your team standing on that winners podium in June.”
