The West London Business Awards 2015 took place last night at the Sheraton Skyline Hotel, Heathrow.  Some 300 guests were in attendance and the event was hosted by ‘adopted West Londoner’ Jason Donovan. The awards recognised the outstanding achievements of organisations and individuals across three themes: economic growth; sustainable and responsible business and sector leadership.

The awards celebrate the excellence that runs through West London which accommodates global brands such as Cisco, British Airways, GSK, Westfield and Sky, as well as some 70,000 businesses, 90% of which are SME working within the UK’s second largest economy, valued at £50 billion.

Beond were short listed for two awards from the hundreds of entrants and they were very pleased to receive Best SME of the Year. The judges commented “this is a very tough category to win because this business really needs to stand out in a diverse field and Beond certainly managed that. The excellent evidence made judging straightforward – we liked the pro-active business plans and the increasingly wide range of services offered to deliver real savings and business advantage, as well as the strong growth in staff”.

Beond’s night became even more rewarding when they were announced as Best Advisor/Consultancy for their sophisticated energy consultancy offering which includes a full range of technology driven procurement services spanning self- generation, buying management and energy efficiency, which offers customers better security of supply and reduced costs. The judges were impressed with “Beond’s stunning revenue growth, great performance, great client list and the help they have provided to their clients in reducing millions in energy bills and managing the complexities of their energy market compliance requirements”.

The team at Beond were delighted to be recognised for these achievements in what has been a very successful year after 15 years in business in West London. Beond were also recently awarded the Highly Commended award for Best SME Business at the Hounslow Business Awards 2015 and we look forward to the 2015 Energy Awards event next week where we are shortlisted.
