Meet All The Shortlisted Nominees

We are taking nominations from across the Thames Valley Region. Historically, we have received an enormous volume of nominations, often exceeding 1000 entries, so for anyone who does get shortlisted, it is a massive achievement!

Shortlisted nominees are announced on 3rd January 2025 

This year, the standard of entrants is so high that we are likely to shortlisted a record-breaking number for the awards across the categories. While we cannot give all shortlisted nominees an award, each winner is truly deserving of recognition for their achievements.

The Thames Valley Business and Community Awards judging process is virtual and will see a range of esteemed entrepreneurs come together to scrutinise our finalists and select the short-listed nominees from the nominations and the winners among them.

Jackie Chappell, The 1st Woman CEO of British Rail was part of the judging panel and said:
Judging the awards is always tough. Every entry is of a very high standard and each one is unique which makes the decision harder. I’m very proud of the quality of businesses that we have in this region and these awards give them the true recognition that they deserve.
Alec Jones-hall, Director of Thames Valley Business and Community Awards said
We are proud and excited to be celebrating outstanding achievement across the region and rewarding those who are making a huge impact throughout the Thames Valley. It is also a time for the business community to come together, not only to celebrate the accomplishments of those shortlisted and the deserving winners of each category, but also to mark the fact that we all continue to play a vital role in the success of our region and that its future achievements will be built on the foundations we lay today.
