Vote for your favourite independent business in Elmbridge

Councillor Kirsty Hewens, Portfolio Holder for Enterprise, Parking and Local Economy, is proud to support this year’s awards: 

Elmbridge continues to be a fantastic place to shop, live, work and play thanks to our independent businesses, the beating heart of our towns and villages. Whether it’s your go-to café, trusted hairdresser, or favourite local bakery, these are the businesses that support us every day. It was a pleasure to meet last year’s winners and hear their stories and successes. I encourage everyone to get involved and vote for your favourite for 2025.

Let’s celebrate the businesses that go the extra mile—vote and show your love for Elmbridge independents!
