Today is your last chance to nominate for the 2026 West Norfolk Mayor’s Business Awards.

There are 12 awards open for nominations at the 37th awards, which once again take place at the Alive Corn Exchange in Lynn’s Tuesday Market Place.

Headline sponsor for the glittering black tie occasion on Friday, March 6, is once again West Norfolk Council, with the Lynn News and our sister publication Your Local Paper organising the event. Popular ITV Anglia presenter David Whiteley will be hosting.

As well as nominations being open, category judges will also get together to crown the winner of The Mayor’s Business of the Year from all of the overall winners.

Today, we shine a light on the Customer Care category, which this year was won by King’s Lynn Residential Home on Kettlewell Lane, which provides both short-term and long-term support as well as respite care for up to 41 people aged 65 and over in the area.

After seeing off opposition from Crown Lodge, in Outwell, and Munchkin and Me, manager Jodi Collins said: “We are absolutely delighted that our service has been recognised. We’ll keep doing what we do best to make sure that the people we look after are getting the care they deserve.”

The Customer Care award will recognise the organisation, irrespective of size or sector, that can prove the customer really does come first. You will need to be able to demonstrate commercial success and strategies for growth whilst achieving excellence in looking after customers.

The organisation must have objectives for high-quality customer service and clear methods of monitoring and evaluating standards.

The award is sponsored by My House Agency (kingslynnproperty.co.uk), who team up with trusted mortgage consultants, solicitors, and surveyors to give you an all-in-one solution.
