If you’ve entered the Sedgemoor Business Awards you still have time to submit your application for the Somerset Business Awards 2026, too!
Organised annually by Somerset Chamber of Commerce, the awards are free to enter and businesses do not need to be a member of the Chamber to take part. Leading accountancy firm, Albert Goodman, is back as the headline sponsor for the 16th consecutive year!
David Crew, Managing Director of Somerset Chamber of Commerce, said: “Taking part is a great way to raise your profile, engage your staff and celebrate your achievements.
“There are 14 categories which cover all sectors and sizes of businesses and charities and we know past winners have gained new business as a direct result of the publicity they received as an award-winner.
“The awards are a great way to share success stories and I am grateful for the sponsorship and support of so many of Somerset’s leading businesses.”
Organisations have until November 21 to submit their entries via the Somerset Business Awards website at www.somersetbusinessawards.org.uk.
