Time is running out to shine a spotlight on the outstanding businesses and entrepreneurs that make Test Valley such a vibrant and dynamic place to live and work. Nominations for the Test Valley Business Awards 2025 close at midnight on Tuesday, 11 June, and organisers are urging the local community to get involved before it’s too late.
Now in its 21st year, the awards celebrate the very best in local business – from innovative start-ups and sustainable enterprises to long-established companies making a real difference in their industry and community.
Businesses can nominate themselves, or be nominated by colleagues, customers, or supporters across a range of categories, including:
- Business in the Community Award – sponsored by Barratt David Wilson Homes Southampton
- Business Innovation and Technology Award – sponsored by University of Southampton Science Park
- New Business Award – sponsored by Monopoly Insurance
- Rural Business Award – sponsored by Addis Locksmiths & Property Maintenance Limited
- Small Business Award – sponsored by Parker Bullen LLP
- Sustainability Award – sponsored by Test Valley Borough Council
- Young Business Person Award – sponsored by Stannah
- Corporate Business Award – sponsored by Absolar
Award organisers encourage everyone in the Test Valley region – including Andover, Romsey, Stockbridge, and surrounding villages – to take this final opportunity to highlight business excellence and give hard-working organisations the recognition they deserve.
Chair of the Awards Committee, Katie Brooks, said:
“Each year, we are amazed by the calibre of businesses operating right here in Test Valley. These awards are about recognising their achievements, raising profiles, and building pride in our local economy. If you know a business that deserves recognition, now is the time to act.”
The Awards Ceremony will take place later this year, bringing together finalists, sponsors, and local leaders for a celebration of enterprise and community spirit.
