This year is a milestone year for the Somerset Business Awards 2025 as the awards celebrate their 20th anniversary – and companies, charities and organisations have just over a month left to take part!
Organised by Somerset Chamber of Commerce, the awards honour the very best of the county’s businesses, from small start-ups to large-scale employers and from engineering pioneers to high-flying apprentices.
The awards are free to enter and businesses do not need to be a member of the Chamber to take part. Once again, leading accountancy firm Albert Goodman is the main sponsor, with the awards culminating in a gala final on March 28 next year.
David Crew, Managing Director of Somerset Chamber of Commerce, said: “Somerset is home to scores of innovative businesses and what better way to celebrate them than by being named as a winner of a prestigious Somerset Business Awards 2025 – the 20th anniversary of the awards?
“Taking part is a great way to raise your profile, engage your staff and celebrate your achievements. There are 14 award categories, covering businesses, individuals and charities – there really is something for everyone.”
