It's official – entries for the Gloucestershire Business Awards 2025 are open at soglos.com/business-awards!

Championing the very best of the county's incredible business community, the fifth annual Gloucestershire Business Awards are proudly supported by headline co-partners Hazlewoods and Willans LLP solicitors.

Taking place this November 2025 at the iconic Cheltenham Town Hall, the Gloucestershire Business Awards launched in 2021 and have grown to become the definitive celebration of businesses in the county.

There are 22 categories to enter, spanning Micro, Small, Medium and Large Business of the Year, to specialist awards for Most Innovative Business, Growth Business, Team of the Year and more – including two brand-new categories for 2025, Businesswoman of the Year and Rural Business of the Year.

Businesses entering are put through a rigorous shortlisting process before going through to the judging phase, where shortlisted businesses have the opportunity to meet our esteemed judges, made up of representatives from our headline and category partners, ahead of the finalists and winners being decided at the often-heated judge's panel meeting. 

As well as the chance to win their category, every finalist is also in with the chance of being named the overall Business of the Year, with the recipient of this special honour being handpicked by our headline co-partners Hazlewoods and Willans LLP solicitors.
