After weeks of in-depth consideration and spirited debate, the finalists in the Gloucestershire Business Awards 2026 have been revealed!
Finalists have made it through a rigorous judging process that included crafting a killer entry to get them shortlisted, making their case to the panel in person at this year's Meet the Judges event, and impressing the panel enough to make it through to the final stage, securing them a place at the awards ceremony this November 2026.
With a higher calibre of entries than ever before, the judges had their work cut out for them, with passionate arguments presented and final decisions agreed upon at the Judges Panel Meeting, which took place at Gloucester's new rooftop event space, Crimson Spire at Hotel Indigo, on Wednesday 7 October 2026.
All of the finalists, along with partners and special guests, will now be invited to the dazzling awards ceremony, taking place once again at Cheltenham Town Hall, on Thursday 5 November 2026, with the event bringing together the brightest stars in the Gloucestershire business community under one roof for an evening of relaxed networking and well-earned celebrations.
A welcome drink and street food supper will be provided by our event partner The Cheltenham Trust, before popular compere Steve Knibbs returns to the stage to reveal the winners for the very first time.
All of the winners who receive an award on the night are also in the running to take home the prestigious Business of the Year award, which is handpicked by our headline partners Hazlewoods and Willans LLP solicitors, marking them out as the best of the best from an incredibly impressive selection.
