Caron Linyard, town centre manager for Bexleyheath, said: "Reaching our fifth year of the Bexley Business Awards is a milestone in itself.
"What started as the Bexleyheath High Street Awards has grown into a borough-wide celebration of everyone from brand-new ventures to businesses that have been part of Bexley's story for decades.
"It has been a brilliant reminder of the talent, hard work and community spirit we have right here on our doorstep."
Dave White, managing director of ITRM, said the business has been operating from Bexley since 1999.
He added: "We're invested in the borough through the people we employ, the customers we serve, and the local causes we support in our own small way.
"After 27 years building this business from nothing, being named Bexley business of the year is truly amazing. My team and I are thrilled."
