About our Sponsors

The Brighton Girl Awards have been made possible by our brilliant sponsors, The Numbers Studio and Nostos.


Velvet in Hove is a fabulous independent store, full of wonderful fashion, accessories, homeware and lifestyle. They have gorgeous new products coming in every day to make it an incredibly special shopping experience in our large two floor 2500sqft store. We love shopping with us, spending lots of time browsing, enjoying the store environment, getting inspiration, trying on clothes and chatting to us. Their amazing team of sixteen women, aged 18-81, help make Velvet what it is. It’s rare for us to host a Brighton Girl event without seeing a Velvet outfit, making them the perfect sponsor for Brighton Girl of the Year.

The Numbers Studio are a Brighton-based accountancy firm, empowering creatively minded entrepreneurs who need reassurance and support. Their services include Consultancy & Business Support, Accounting & Tax Compliance, and Bookkeeping & Outsourced Finance. Together, this team of Chartered Accountants are supporting people to build a more fulfilling future for themselves. Their dedication to offering a great service and a happy team makes them the perfect sponsor for the Brighton Girl Business of the Year.

Nostos is Brighton Girl’s favourite Greek Restaurant, serving exquisitely beautiful modern Greek gastronomy in the very heart of Hove. This award-winning restaurant celebrates and supports communities from all across the city, hosting friends, families, meet up communities and business dinners with extra special TLC. Notably, they have recently launched Yiayia's (Grandmothers) corne, a community-driven dining experience where they have partnered with the reusable container service, Return Ware, to offer traditional homemade food at lower prices. They have also partnered with Acumen Law to create the The Big Fat Greek Club, bringing together business leaders one Friday a month for a social (and delicious) lunch. We’re sure you’ll agree that they’re the perfect sponsor for the Brighton Girl Community of the Year.
