Following the tremendous success of the 2024 Test Valley Business Awards, this year’s ceremony is set to be even bigger and better, celebrating the outstanding contributions of businesses and individuals in the Test Valley.
Each year, the Test Valley Business Awards features two key events: a highly anticipated launch in March that marks the beginning of the application process, and a prestigious Gala Awards Dinner where the winners are announced. Typically attended by 150 to 200 local business representatives, the Gala Awards Dinner is a highlight for any discerning local business, keeping the community connected and providing reasons to celebrate year after year.
In 2024, seven winners were selected from over 21 finalists and 150 entries, and they received their awards at an impressive gala dinner attended by The Worshipful Mayor, Councillor Ian Jeffrey, and Mayoress Maura Jeffery, along with other esteemed guests. After the ceremony, Councillor Ian Jeffrey personally visited the winners to congratulate them.
“It has been truly inspiring to visit the Test Valley Business Award winners and witness the incredible diversity and innovation across our borough. Each of the seven winners demonstrated exceptional talent, dedication, and passion for their work. It was a genuine pleasure to learn more about these remarkable businesses and celebrate their well deserved achievements”, Councillor Ian Jeffrey, Mayor of Test Valley.
