Evening Standard Business Awards 2019 - Hosted by George Osborne

Hosted by Evening Standard editor George Osborne, the Evening Standard Business Awards, in association with London City Airport, return in 2019 for the 4th annual celebration of London’s business stars and top performing companies.

Culminating in a glamorous awards ceremony and lunch at The Landmark London on June 28, the awards span across eight categories. From ‘Media Company of the Year’ to ‘Business of the Year’, which in 2019 is sponsored by London City Airport, the awards will recognise success across a number of different industries, and the firms pushing business forward: from improving diversity, advancing technology and transforming their industries.

48 rivals have been shortlisted, and our esteemed panel of judges, including George Osborne, Viswas Raghavan, CEO & Head of Banking, EMEA at J.P Morgan and Jayne-Anne Gadhia, Founder & CEO at Snoop, will be assembling ahead of the ceremony to assess the nominees and select the winners.
