About the Award
This year, for the 2022 programme, the Croydon Business Excellence Awards have partnered with local not-for-profit organisation, The CNBA Foundation, to bring you a one-off, standalone category, the Inspirational Young Person of the Year Award.
Established in 2019, The CNBA Foundation was developed from the legacy of Carl Nathaniel Beatson-Asiedu, a Croydon community champion. The foundation endeavours to cultivate the essence of his spirit in creating opportunities in the Arts.
