With judging now complete following weeks of in-depth consideration, the finalists for the Gloucestershire Business Awards 2025 have been revealed!
Making it through a rigorous judging process, from crafting impressive awards entries, to stating their case in person at a vibrant Meet the Judges event, the finalists will now be invited to attend this year's glittering ceremony at Cheltenham Town Hall in November 2025.
After weeks of deliberation over who deserves to be named Gloucestershire's best businesses, the finalists were agreed upon at the judges panel meeting at Hatherley Manor on Wednesday 8 October 2025, where passionate debate ensued around which businesses would be carried forward to the main awards.
The businesses chosen as winner and highly commended in each category will be revealed for the first time at the Gloucestershire Business Awards on Thursday 6 November 2025, with the evening culminating in the announcement of the overall Business of the Year award, handpicked by our headline co-partners Hazlewoods and Willans LLP solicitors.
The showstopping event provides an exclusive opportunity for partners, finalists and special guests to come together to celebrate the very best of Gloucestershire's business community.
The county's own Steve Knibbs will again play host for the evening as awards compère, while food will be provided before the ceremony by event partner The Cheltenham Trust – and for the first time this year, there's also an exclusive afterparty featuring a live band, to mark the event's fifth year.
