The prestigious Sevenoaks Business Awards of 2023 unfurled on the evening of October 20th, orchestrated by the adept Sevenoaks Town Team, culminating in a grand gala at The Bat & Ball Centre. This contemporary haven, with its cutting-edge lighting and sound systems, perfectly encapsulated the elegance and spirit of the “black tie” event, elevating the celebration to a realm of sophistication.
Amidst a constellation of esteemed personalities, the event was graced by the insightful narratives of Michael Gietzen, the mastermind behind the iconic 2023 London New Year Fireworks. His illustrious portfolio, adorned with numerous major UK and global spectacles, resonated through the hall, adding a touch of grandeur to the evening.
Among the stars of the night were Welham Jones Funerals & Memorials, whose venture echoed through the corridors as a finalist for the coveted Independent Business of the Year Award. Although the laurel was ultimately bestowed upon The Hart Spa, the journey of Welham Jones was no less triumphant.
The epitome of the event was captured in a frame where Rebecca and Simon Welham, the dynamic daughter-father duo, were honoured with their finalist award. Standing alongside the Mayor of Sevenoaks, Cllr Claire Shea, and Councillor Tony Clayton, their smiles reflected the essence of achievement and the promise of many more accolades in the tapestry of Sevenoaks’ thriving business community.
This glittering night not only celebrated the accomplishments of the local business sphere but also hinted at the boundless potential that the future holds, painting a canvas of aspiration for many.

Dating back to ancient Egypt, funeral cortege; the journey that carries the deceased and mourners to the site of the funeral ceremony, has deep roots. However, since what was once a grand procession, overtured by musicians and wailing subjects, is now often seen as a purely functional aspect of the funeral; it is safe to say that funeral corteges have had a bit of a fall from grace in the past five millennia.
