The Rochford District Business Awards aim to recognise and celebrate the achievements of our fantastic business community over the last 12 months.
This year, we are celebrating businesses across a diverse range of categories, including Employer of the Year, Start-Up of the Year, Community Impact, the Sustainability Award, and Customer Service Award. Awards can also acknowledge the achievements of the individuals that make up our business community, including Entrepreneur of the Year and Apprentice of the Year.
Councillor Michael Hoy, Chair of the Economic Development, Regeneration and Tourism Committee at Rochford District Council said: "The Rochford District Business Awards offer a great opportunity to showcase the talent, resilience and dedication of our local businesscommunity. These awards were a great success last year, and I’m thrilled that we get to celebrate even more inspiring achievements in 2025. These awards are about more than just business success; they celebrate the individuals, teams and companies who are making a positive impact on our District, driving innovation and leading by example. I encourage everyone to nominate those who have gone above and beyond this year, whether they are established businesses, dynamic new start-ups, or inspiring individuals. This is an opportunity for local businesses and individuals to be recognised not only for their contributions to our communities and the local economy, but also for their dedication and hard work."
