Our 2025 SME Bedfordshire Business Awards reached their thrilling finale on June 19, as the county’s brightest businesses and individuals were celebrated at a glittering awards night at the Riverside Suite, Venue 360, Luton.
These prestigious awards continue to be the best platform to get your business seen, heard and talked about in Bedfordshire and beyond. For this year’s winners, across both Gold and Silver categories, the rewards are already being felt. From wide-reaching media coverage to features in the Chamber’s own communications, and from social media engagement to the undeniable credibility that comes with such public recognition, the spotlight is well and truly on them.
But the value goes deeper. Their success has amplified their visibility within our Chamber network, creating new avenues for connection, collaboration and conversation.
We’re already seeing relationships forming and opportunities emerging and real business being done as a direct result of this recognition.
