It's your last chance to enter this year's Gloucestershire Business Awards and make sure your company is in with a chance of winning one of the county's most coveted awards.
There are 16 categories available to enter this year, including awards for new, innovative, sustainable and family businesses, as well as a selection of categories celebrating influential individuals in the Gloucestershire business community, including Business Leader of the Year, Businesswoman of the Year, Employee of the Year and Team of the Year – and there are just a few days left to make sure your company is in the running, with entries closing on Sunday 28 June 2026.
Following a rigorous shortlisting process, the full list of businesses which make it through to the next stage will be announced on SoGlos on Monday 27 July 2026.
All the businesses shortlisted have the chance to make their case to the judging panel – comprised of representatives from our esteemed headline and category partners – at an exclusive networking event on Tuesday 8 September 2026 at the 19th century Over Barn on Over Farm near Gloucester.
The judging panel then has the difficult task of whittling down the shortlist to finalists, highly commended businesses and winners, with the final decisions being made at the Judges Panel Meeting on Wednesday 30 September 2026 at Gloucester's stylish new rooftop bar, Crimson Spire at Hotel Indigo, ahead of finalists being announced on SoGlos on Monday 12 October 2026.
Then all of the finalists, along with partners and special guests, are invited to come together for the live reveal of winners on Thursday 5 November 2026, once again taking place at the iconic Cheltenham Town Hall, with no cost to attend thanks to the generous support of our partners.
And as well as potentially taking home the trophy for their individual category, every finalist also has the chance to be crowned our overall Business of the Year, handpicked by headline co-partners Hazlewoods and Willans LLP solicitors from all of the winners on the night, too.
Don't miss out — entries for the Gloucestershire Business Awards close on Sunday 28 June 2026.
