The Surrey Awards 2024 – rewarding the “best of the best” in Surrey – were back with a bang on Friday May 17th at Sandown Park Racecourse in Esher with 380 guests in total and 36 Winners & Highly Commended Awards given out on the night.
These Awards (in conjunction with Surrey Rocks Magazine) showcase and celebrate the hard work and excellence of fantastic local businesses, that go above and beyond to make Surrey the best home county there is. It is great to give the recognition back to these businesses that truly deserve it.
The Surrey Awards 2024 Gala Dinner was sponsored by Lotus, Bell & Colvill, Milners, Bumbles, Dorking Brewery, The Gin Kitchen, Forever Bloom and Passorns.
Thank you to judges ‘Rise of the Footsoldier’ Actress Rachel Warren, Comedian Bobby Davro, Celebrity journalist & SFW Co-founder Angela Sara West, Ransom lead singer Matt Fielder, Surrey Rocks Editor Sam Matthews & Surrey Awards Co-Founder Joanne Rix, who came up with the 7-strong shortlist in each of the 21 categories. From there – the great Surrey public, all 17,000 of them decided on the eventual Winners & Highly Commended via our secure online voting system on www.rocksmag.com from February 1st to May 3rd 2024.
This year’s Surrey Awards were in aid of two charities; ESDAS (East Surrey Domestic Abuse Services) and The Meeting Room (a Surrey Homelessness Charity).
