Having been awarded the accolade of the Lifetime Achievement in Business at the Worthing Business Awards in 2010, we are very pleased to offer our congratulations to Peter Bennett for scooping the same title at the illustrious Southern Business Awards.
The award looks to recognise the most outstanding member of the business community who was made major contributions to the business reputation of the area.
Bennett Griffin partner, Peter Bennett, has dedicated vast amounts of his career to Worthing and the surrounding areas, as Mayor of the town from 1993 to 1994, Councillor on Worthing Borough Council for 24 years, and Chair of the Connaught Theatre Trust, to list just a few of his achievements.
The Southern Business Awards collate the winners of regional awards from the past year, including Worthing, Brighton, Portsmouth, Chichester, Gatwick Diamond, and more.
The Lifetime Achievement in Business Award was sponsored by The Brand Surgery, who were ‘thrilled’ to have been sponsors. Vicky Vaughan said:
“Peter Bennett is a well-deserved winner, he has done so much for the Worthing Community as well as being a successful businessman. We aspire to Peter’s success”.
Labelling the award ‘a tribute’ to the business community in Adur and Worthing, Peter Bennett is the perfect example of a gracious winner:
“It is business people who make a difference to jobs, prosperity, ambitions and aspirations for the whole community. I am very proud of this recognition but it would not have been given to me without the teamwork, support and encouragement of many others.
I would particularly like to thank my Partners and all at Bennett Griffin, the hardworking Executive of the Worthing and Adur Chamber – the indefatigable Tina Tilley, the Adur & Worthing Economic Partnership, the networking groups, and thebestofworthing, who make up the rich interaction of commercial operations in our area, and which contribute so much to the regional economy.”
A huge congratulations to Peter and all at Bennett Griffin, and also to the Worthing business community. It is an honour to have such a well-respected award-winner in our local communities!
