The prestigious Gloucestershire Business Awards are back for 2026 – and entries are now officially open at soglos.com/business-awards!
As the county's leading business awards, the sixth annual Gloucestershire Business Awards give companies of all sizes, from ambitious start-ups to global powerhouses, the chance to receive the recognition they deserve – as well as unrivalled networking opportunities with the county's very best businesses throughout a number of key stages.
The Gloucestershire Business Awards 2026 are proudly supported by returning headline co-partners Hazlewoods and Willans LLP solicitors, along with a stable of esteemed category partners across 17 hotly-contested categories celebrating everything from growth and sustainability, to business leadership and customer excellence.
Every entry is put through a rigorous shortlisting process before being put forward to the judging stage, where shortlisted businesses have the chance to meet our esteemed judging panel – comprised of representatives from our headline and category partners – at an exclusive networking event at Over Farm's 19th century event venue, Over Barn.
The panel then comes together at the often-heated Judge's Panel Meeting, this year being hosted at the Crimson Spire event space at the brand new Hotel Indigo Gloucester, to decide on the finalists, highly commended finalists and winners.
While the live reveal of winners will take place at the exclusive awards night, returning to the spectacular Cheltenham Town Hall on Thursday 5 November 2026 which, thanks to the generosity of our partners, is completely free to attend.
And as well as a shot at winning their category, every finalist is also in with the chance of receiving the special honour of being named the overall Business of the Year, handpicked by our headline co-partners Hazlewoods and Willans LLP solicitors.
