Applications are now open for the 2025 East Staffordshire and South Derbyshire Business Awards.

Now in its 15th year, this much-anticipated annual event shines a spotlight on the accomplishments of businesses across East Staffordshire and South Derbyshire – celebrating their dedication, creativity and success over the past year and beyond.

There are a total of 10 award categories available for businesses and organisations to enter. You can view the full list of categories here. Entering multiple categories is encouraged.

Dave Bryon, returning to host the 2025 ceremony, said: “Each year, this event grows in stature, firmly establishing itself as a key date in the local business calendar.

“It’s all about applauding the extraordinary efforts and achievements of businesses in our area.

“With 10 categories covering everything from innovation to customer service, there’s a chance for every business to shine. We’re urging businesses to get involved and showcase their strengths.

“Winning an award can raise your profile, help you reach new customers, and enhance your marketing and PR efforts – not to mention boosting your business’s reputation.”

Judging panels will visit shortlisted finalists throughout October. The Gala Awards Evening will take place on Thursday 13 November, once again at the Pirelli Stadium, home of Burton Albion FC.
