Kew Village Market is the winner of the People’s Choice Award 2019
We’re thrilled to tell you that Kew Village Market – run as it is entirely by volunteers – is officially the public’s favourite business in the borough of Richmond! In a hotly contested category of 2019’s Richmond Business Awards, with the long list of nominees reduced to a shortlist of five, Kew Village Market was declared the winner of the People’s Choice Award – to general jubilation!
The judges paid particular tribute to the quality and variety of the stalls, and Anne Newton, Richmond Chamber of Commerce CEO and Chair of the Richmond Business Awards Panel, said: ‘This People’s Choice Award category was judged by the general public and Kew Village Market won that vote against a very competitive field. Huge congratulations from us all at the Chamber of Commerce – a well deserved win!’
David Linnette, Former Chair of Kew Village Market Committee, said: ‘This award means more to us than any other because we’ve won it through the votes and support of all our customers, Kew residents and visitors alike, our wonderful stallholders, local musicians and stalwart band of volunteers. The trophy belongs to us all!’
They’re playing our song.
We’re grateful to our marvellous medley of musicians not only for bringing the party spirit to the market each month but also for their support of our charity fund-raising. Two of our favourite bands, Those In Favour and The Orchard Jazz Quartet have written and performed songs about Kew Market - enjoy.
