Chairman of the Test Valley Business Awards, Katie Brooks, praised both the entrants and sponsors for their commitment to excellence and community engagement. “This year’s nominations showcased the incredible breadth of talent and enterprise within Test Valley. Our sponsors have been instrumental throughout the judging process – some have even taken the time to visit their nominees in person, while others engaged their teams to collaboratively assess entries. It’s been fantastic to see how personally invested they are in recognising the best our region has to offer.”
Winners will be announced at the prestigious Gala Dinner on Monday, 15th September 2025, at The Lights Andover – a night set to honour and celebrate the passion, innovation, and community spirit that define Test Valley businesses.
