A black-tie gala dinner for veterans in business — awards for outstanding entrepreneurs, community contributors and employers.

Join us for the V.I.B (Veterans in Business) Gala Dinner & Awards Night — a black tie evening celebrating veterans in business, hosted at the Delta Hotels by Marriott, Colchester.

V.I.B is for two audiences: veterans who own their own business, and businesses that support veterans as employees. This event is open to all veterans, regardless of which service you were in (Army, Royal Navy — including the Royal Marines — or RAF) — as long as you served, or your business looks after those who did, you're welcome.

Tickets are £99 per person, covering your three-course dinner plus the full evening — guest speakers and the V.I.B Awards presentations. At checkout you'll see a total of £107.96; the extra amount is Eventbrite's standard booking fee, not an additional charge from us. Buy multiple tickets in one order if you'd like your group seated together.

If you'd like to apply for one of the V.I.B Awards, please get in touch after booking — award applications close Friday 6th November 2026, ahead of the RSVP deadline of Sunday 15th November 2026, to allow time for judging before the night.
