The Russell Martin Foundation had the honour of being nominated for the Community Hero Award at the Sussex Business Awards 2023, a recognition of the impactful work the foundation has been doing in the local community. Though we didn't secure the top spot, we are delighted to announce that the foundation was awarded the Highly Commended award at the event held on the 30th of November at the Grand Hotel in Brighton.

The Grand Hotel, with its festive Christmas decorations, provided a picturesque setting for an evening filled with anticipation, excitement, and celebration of the remarkable contributions made by various businesses across Sussex. The winter atmosphere added a touch of magic to the awards night, making it a truly memorable occasion.

Russell Martin, the founder of RMF, expressed his gratitude for the nomination and the foundation's Highly Commended award, "Attending the Sussex Business Awards was a fantastic experience for our team. It was great to see so many businesses coming together to celebrate the positive impact they are making in their communities. While we may not have taken home the top prize, the Highly Commended award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved in the foundation."

Russell also took the opportunity to commend all the winners of the night, "Congratulations to all the deserving winners who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to making a difference in Sussex”
