Finalists, sponsors and guests can relive a record-breaking night at the Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce Business Awards thanks to an online image gallery.
Over 500 images from the ceremony, held last Thursday at Uttoxeter Racecourse, are now free to view, captured by ACJ Media and the Chambers’ team of professional photographers.
It was the busiest Awards ceremony on record for the Chamber, with a record-breaking number of applications and the largest crowd in the awards’ 11 year history.



Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce Chief Executive, Stuart Elford, said: “A huge thank you to all our sponsors, judges and guests for making the 2026 Awards our biggest and best yet.
“With record entries, a sold-out room of 450 guests and our first ever After Party, the night showed the strength and ambition of business right across Staffordshire.
“These awards exist to celebrate the businesses and people driving our region forward, and this year’s finalists and winners were a brilliant reflection of that. The standard of entries made the judges’ job harder than ever.
“Nights like this don’t happen without the support of our sponsors and partners, so thank you to everyone who played a part in making it such a special evening.
“Congratulations again to all our winners and finalists. You are what makes this event so special.”
Winners across 15 categories each received a bespoke plate handcrafted by Duchess China, one of Staffordshire’s original fine bone china manufacturers, alongside the overall Business of the Year award, which went to The HEX Group.
A separate album from The After Party, a new addition for 2026, will be published later in the week.
