usiness news Photos by Julia Claxton The winners of the 2015 Lewes District Business Awards were announced at a glittering ceremony at Pelham House last month. It was great to see local businesses getting the recognition they deserve, not least Lewes’ very own Richard Soan Roofing Services (right) named Business of the Year. Other local award winners were The Runaway café at Lewes Station, recognised as Business in the Community; Furniture Now! received the award for Social Enterprise; Chalk Gallery won Small Business of the Year, continuing their 10th birthday celebrations; and Union Music Store (left) clinched Best Independent Retailer. Further afield, Design Specific won the award for Business Innovation. They’re engineering incredible solutions to enable disabled people to access health services. The award for Green Business went to grounds maintenance company G Burley and Sons; The Charleston Trust collected the Best Visitor Attraction for the second year running; Fundraising Auctions won Start Up of the Year; LEAP Entrepreneur of the Year went to Louisa Devismes, of The Cheese Makers Choice (see p69); Southern Railway took the award for Access All Areas; and finally Gerri Ori of Brooklyn Hyundai in Seaford was named as the District’s Businessperson of the Year. Congratulations to them all. All well-deserved and chosen from a field of 30 great finalists. This year’s sponsors included Basepoint Business Centres, Cheesmur Building Contractors, Harvey & Son Ltd, Knill James, LEAP, Lewes District Council, Pelham House, Santon North Street, The Aldridge Foundation, Veolia, The Argus and yours truly, and as much fun was had by them as it was by the entrants. If you’d like to get involved in next year’s awards – either as an entrant or a sponsor – contact business@ lewes.gov.uk Elsewhere, the Old Fire Station in Cliffe High Street, formerly belonging to the late and muchmissed silversmith Simon Beer, is now home to The Silvery. Jules Ash, who makes original jewellery by coating all manner of unusual things in silver, is joined by Sharon Reid of Lewesian Leathers, creating beautiful hand-stitched bags and accessories. Amanda Barton sets up shop as an independent education consultant offering pre-university guidance, advice and counselling services to prospective UK university students, their parents, schools and colleges and local boy, Ben Mobbs, has returned to his home town and set up a digital design studio creating signs, T-shirts and digital media. Check out his website bjum.uk The Charleston Trust have launched a crowdfunding campaign in association with The Art Fund and broadcaster Jon Snow, aiming to raise £25,000 this summer to help restore key painted surfaces. Donors will receive rewards from a personalised set of iconic postcards to mounted fragments of the library wallpaper.
