THE Somerset Business Awards 2025 celebrate their 20th anniversary, and companies, charities and organisations have just over a month left to take part.

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 main sponsor, with the awards culminating in a gala final on March 28 next year.
