VMI is a finalist in two categories of West London Business Awards

VMI is a finalist in two categories of the 7th annual West London Business Awards, for “Creative/Media Business of the Year” and also the “Responsible Workplace award”.  The awards celebrate business excellence, and showcases the innovation and entrepreneurial vibrancy of West London’s business community.

“Making the shortlist alone is a tough call ​and I feel honoured that VMI has been shortlisted for second year in a row and especially to achieve this in 2 categories as well.

We have worked so hard, that it is great to have our achievements recognised by the judging panel.”

Barry Bassett, Managing Director, VMI

Making the shortlist recognises the achievements of VMI and West London business and the winners were announced at a ceremony on Friday 7th February 2019 at Twickenham Stadium which was attended by all VMI Directors.

We have seen a surge in entries this year which shows the sustained energy and dynamism in the West London economic powerhouse. Our judges were particularly pleased to see the continued embedding of environmental and social sustainability into the practices of so many of the entries – critically important in an era where we must rise to the challenges of climate change and poverty in our backyard as pressure on food banks grows. Awards night promises to be an exciting occasion with plenty of surprises to be had as always

Andrew Dakers, CEO of West London Business
