Business is booming in Sussex as was proved at an impressive awards ceremony near Gatwick.
More than 500 commercial and civic leaders attended the Sussex Business Awards to hear success stories from every part of the county.
Some established names such as Brighton and Hove Albion were among the winners. But others were firms of which few people have heard.
One of them is the fast-expanding contact centre, Telegen UK, which has been named Company of the Year.
This annual awards ceremony shows the depth and range of businesses in Sussex which are forging ahead.
Most may not be familiar names to us. But the economic health of the county, and the country, depends on the entrepreneurs who are making them soar to success.
