There is just over a month to go for firms, charities and other organisations to take part in the biggest, county-wide celebration of business in Somerset – the Somerset Business Awards 2026.
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 headline sponsor, with the awards culminating in a gala final on March 26 next year at the Bath & West Showground. 
David Crew (pictured right with Mike Cahill from headline sponsor Albert Goodman), 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 2026!
“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.”
Organisations have until November 21 to submit their entries via the Somerset Business Awards website at www.somersetbusinessawards.org.uk.

The awards are also supported by media sponsors Global and the Somerset County Gazette Series.
