"STCG is proud to sponsor this new MBBA category which recognises organisations that place people at the heart of their business, championing fair recruitment, staff development and progression. By celebrating employers who actively invest in jobs and skills, the award highlights the vital role employers plays in building resilient communities and a thriving local economy."

The Merton Best Business Awards provide an opportunity for organisations to gain recognition for their achievements, whether through business growth, community impact, innovation or sustainability. The awards continue to highlight the businesses and employers that help Merton thrive.
