Staffordshire businesses have until this Friday to complete their 2026 Staffordshire Chambers Business Awards applications.
The awards, which return to Uttoxeter Racecourse in July with a brand-new theme, give businesses the chance to shine a spotlight on their achievements over the last 12 months and beyond.
Newcastle-under-Lyme-based wealth management experts IronMarket – who won the 2025 Professional Services award – have called on businesses to submit a free application to gain valuable recognition and credibility within the regional business community.
Amy Johnson, NTWRK Director, said: “Winning Professional Services of the Year meant a great deal to us, especially given the strength of the businesses in the category. It was fantastic recognition for the work our team puts into delivering value for our members.
“Since winning, it’s been a real credibility boost for us and something we’re extremely proud of. We’d absolutely encourage other businesses to enter it’s a great experience and a brilliant way to highlight the work your team is doing.”
Applications are free to submit and can be submitted via the Chambers’ Awards platform, here, ahead of the deadline at midnight on Friday, 20 March.
Amy added: “We entered the Chambers Awards because we’re proud of the work we do for our members and the impact we’re making in the area, so it felt like a great opportunity to showcase that alongside other fantastic businesses in the region.
“The awards are brilliantly organised every year and are a real celebration of the strength and diversity of the Staffordshire business community.”
Organisers have confirmed a brand new theme for 2026.
THE AFTER PARTY will see finalists, winners and sponsors take to the dancefloor to celebrate business success in style.
Staffordshire Chambers Deputy CEO Tom Nadin said: “We’ve listened to businesses who told us they wanted the celebrations to go on later into the night.
“These awards are the county’s largest and longest-running, celebrating the hard work, creativity, and achievements of local companies.
“It’s our flagship event of the year and draws a truly diverse mix of businesses. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to this year’s ceremony.”
There are a total of 15 award categories, from Start-up Business of the Year to Large Business of the Year, including the overall Business of the Year.
Applications are free to submit via Awards platform, here.
