Christopher Meeking, CEO of Avtura, has been named Winner of the Business Person of the Year, at the Gatwick Diamond Business Awards.
The Awards are sponsored by KPMG and the winners were announced in front of an audience of more than 650 of the top business people in the Diamond. Hosted by Actor Stephen Mangan and held at the Effingham Park Hotel, the Awards Dinner was the culmination of hundreds of hours of work by the sponsors, judges, organisers and the entrants themselves.
Julie Wheeldon, Director with KPMG, commented: "We were immediately impressed by Chris' hands-on, inclusive approach to running his business, which has recently won some major contracts, which are likely to prove transformational for Avtura. They are the perfect example of a Gatwick-based business helping to drive cutting edge innovation on a global scale, led by someone who grew up in the area."
