Celebrating Achievement
- Kent Excellence in
Business Awards (KEiBA)
The KEiBA awards scheme is staged
and produced by Kent County Council
and the KM Group to recognise and
reward excellence in Kent and Medway's
businesses. The Kent Excellence in
Business Awards have a high profile and
winning this accolade will say a lot about
the quality of your organisation and the
strength of your management team. These
awards attract a wide range of entries
from across a variety of sectors - but the
winners all have one thing in common -
they are truly excellent at what they do
and have proved this in their entry.
Entering KEiBA will help you raise the
profile of your organisation and enhance
its reputation by promoting the great
work you have been doing over the last
twelve months, whilst at the same time
providing you with a platform to
celebrate your success. The KEiBAs are
free to enter and open to any business or
organisation based and operating in the
Kent and Medway area.
