A packed audience celebrated in style at the fourth Life in Petersfield Business and Community Awards
on Friday 1 April at the Festival Hall. The main winners were Phillip Haines, the Personality of the Year; Daniel Johnson, the Young Achiever of the Year; and the OnionFest, the Event of the Year which was decided on the night by public vote.
The evening event, sponsored by Kebbell Homes, opened with brief speeches by local MP Damian Hinds and Margaret Paren, Chair of the South Downs National Park Authority. This followed the hugely successful launch of the South Downs National Park in The Square, Petersfield, at noon that day.
Damian Hinds said later: “While the SDNP inaugural celebrations were a very fitting way to wave in a new era, the Life Awards were once again a great tribute to all that has made, and continues to make, Petersfield the great town it is. Congratulations to Life Magazines and Navigate on such a successful day.”
Each of the winners and highly commended in 15 categories were warmly cheered by the sell-out crowd. They enjoyed pleasing
performances from local acts: Petersfield Academy of Dance; singer Sertari; Churchers Jazz Band; and Petersfield Youth Theatre.
Previous performer Charlie Millar provided the interval entertainment in the Rose Room, where the bar was run superbly by the Petersfield Round Table, supported by David Haworth of Hampshire Wine Shippers.
There was also a tribute to Petersfield Rugby Club stalwart Andy Millar, who sadly died in March, from Stuart Barden who presented the Sports Award.
Hosts Gareth Gammon, MD of Navigate and Life Magazines, and Nick Keith, Editorial Director, wished many congratulations to the winners, to those who were Highly Commended, and to all those who entered – there were more than 1,000 entries this year. They thanked all the sponsors and the many people and business organizations who had contributed to the occasion.
And now event organizer Aimee Plant and the Life Magazines’ team are planning for the fifth year of Petersfield’s “Oscars’ night” in Spring 2012.

The Award Winners and“We thought the
event was fantastic,
not just because we won
a prize, but the whole
presentation. I have
worked for some FTSE100
companies who have
had big teams organizing
some PR events and very
few I have attended have
given me such joy and
pride as yours last week.
So well done to everyone
for laying on a brilliant
and well-run
evening.
Hugh Jones, Lillyfields Care

“Once again, it
was a fantastic
celebration of all that
makes Petersfield the
town it is. As I said in
my own remarks, I do
think that recognition
of the partnership
between business and
community and the vital
role that businesses play
is a key underpinning
of the success of
Petersfield as
a town.
Damian Hinds, MP.
