Now in its second year after a hugely successful first awards in 2024 – the South West Business of the Year awards celebrates the very best business successes from across the region. The shortlisted and winning companies are those that are innovating, disrupting and thriving – and want to showcase their achievements.
The awards are led by TheBusinessDesk.com with categories for every size of business.
A rigorous judging process will see the companies who enter visited by members of our judging panel, before a shortlisting process. Each company on the shortlist will then be invited to pitch why they should win an award, with the winners revealed at a high-profile black tie awards evening in Bristol city centre.
