POPPING corks and all that for the 'Docklands Duo' Gary and Rita Beckwith, founders and owners of Thames Riverboat operator City Cruises Ltd.
The Southwark company, which operates dinner, lunch and tea cruises and charters and owns the Hispaniola floating restaurant and bar moored at the Embankment. has just been named 'Business of the Year' at the East London and Essex Business Awards 2004.

And for the Beckwiths, too. Gary is deputy chairman of TourEast London while Rita chairs the Docklands Business Club.
