The Sedgemoor Business Excellence Awards return in November 2026, once again celebrating the people, passion, and progress that make Sedgemoor’s business community thrive.

Each year, hundreds of businesses enter to showcase their achievements, from start-ups making their mark to long-established firms leading the way in innovation, sustainability, and community impact. The awards shine a spotlight on the dedication and resilience that define Sedgemoor’s business landscape, bringing together entrepreneurs, teams, and community leaders for an unforgettable evening of celebration.

If you want to be part of next year’s story, now is the time to get ready.

Applications will open in July 2026, and registering your interest today means you’ll be the first to know when submissions go live. We’ll send you helpful reminders, entry tips, and updates so you don’t miss your chance to apply early.

The awards evening itself is one of the highlights of the local business calendar. Guests can look forward to a black-tie dinner, live entertainment, professional photography, and plenty of networking with fellow business leaders — all wrapped up in a night that celebrates achievement, connection, and community spirit.

Whether you’re hoping to apply, attend, or sponsor the event, this is your opportunity to be part of Sedgemoor’s biggest business celebration.

Highlights from the 2025 awards

The 2025 Sedgemoor Business Excellence Awards were our busiest to date, with more than 130 entries and over 240 guests joining us on Friday the 21st of November. We celebrated businesses of all sizes, from new start ups to long established employers, and introduced a brand new category, Building and Construction Business of the Year.

This year also saw our first ever Charity Raffle, with all proceeds going to our Charity of the Year, Ups and Downs Southwest. Thanks to the generosity of everyone who took part, we raised over £1,800 to support their vital work with children, young people and families. The evening was rounded off with live music and a fantastic atmosphere, making 2025 a record breaking year and a brilliant platform for the awards to grow again in 2026.
