We’re heading to the .london Small Business Awards 2016 where we’re sponsoring a range of winning categories.

You might have heard us going on a bit about the .london domain name, and we’re proud of it! Last year London – where we’re based – got its very own .london domain name. We were at the launch where we had a chat with Mayor of London Boris Johnson and took some snaps of the festivities. Since then we’ve greatly enjoyed watching the domain become a success, driving many businesses forward by showing their allegiance to one of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities in the world – we’re not biased, promise!

This week we’re heading to the .london Small Business Awards where we’re presenting and sponsoring a series of awards. The .london Small Business Awards shine a spotlight on London’s booming small business sector, celebrating the successful ideas born in the Big Smoke. Head Judge Sarah Willingham, of BBC’s Dragon’s Den, leads a pack of industry experts rewarding local talent for their contribution to the English capital.

The awards span 12 categories, covering a vast array of sectors and industries. As such a diverse place, London is home to a huge population of young entrepreneurs and budding startups. UK2 cater to these small businesses with our website services; we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of business customers make their mark on the web. From baby steps with a domain name through to a completed live website with a powerful web hosting solution, UK2 is the perfect business ‘partner’.

At this year’s awards we are proud to be sponsoring the following categories:

• Best Independent Groceries Retailer
• Best Independent Lifestyle Retailer
• Best Health, Beauty and Cosmetics Provider
