Toni Chalk, Sussex-based integration company Strive AV managing director, was recently declared Business Person of the Year at the Gatwick Diamond Business Awards. The ceremony took place on 23 March at The Grand Hotel, Brighton.
Now in its 15th year, the event is a well-established highlight of the business calendar across Sussex and Surrey, strongly supported by the Gatwick Diamond business community.
“This award really means a lot to me. Since rebranding in 2021, relocating to bigger and more functional premises, not to mention the challenges that the pandemic provided, we’ve really had to work hard as a team to continue to deliver for our client and to attract new business,” said Ms Chalk,
“The team has been amazing, and it has been such a privilege to lead them through all these developments. Together, we’ve worked hard to get the Strive AV name out there and continue to meet our business goals. The last few years have been an incredible, yet challenging, journey for me, so getting recognition at a local level for all the hard work feels amazing!”
Moving the company’s headquarters into the Gatwick Diamond area has opened opportunities for Strive AV in what is an ideally located business hub, not only from a client perspective, but also from an employment point of view. The company is looking to expand and has a powerful vision for the future.
This year’s host was comedian and actress Kerry Godliman, who presented Ms Chalk with her award and the Strive AV team celebrated at the After-Show Party.
