The North Worcestershire Business Awards 2025 brought together business leaders, innovators, and rising stars from across the region for an evening of celebration, recognition, and community spirit.
Held at the elegant Hogarths Stone Manor, this year’s awards showcased 26 outstanding finalists, with 8 category winners and 11 Highly Commended organisations and individuals acknowledged for their achievements.
The awards continue to spotlight the depth of talent, creativity, and entrepreneurial energy within North Worcestershire, celebrating businesses making a meaningful impact across innovation, growth, community contribution, leadership, and emerging talent.
Melanie Hawkett of Make Strides, organiser of the North Worcestershire Business Awards, said:
“It is always a privilege to organise these awards, celebrating business and individual success across the county. These awards are not-for-profit and every sponsor is valued. Without them we could not host such an amazing and spirited evening. If you are interested in sponsoring the awards for 2026, please get in touch with me at melanie@make-strides.com.”
A heartfelt thank you goes to all sponsors whose support makes the North Worcestershire Business Awards possible. Their commitment to celebrating local enterprise helps shine a spotlight on the region’s exceptional talent.
