Gold winners! We are delighted to share the news that Bridge Health & Wellbeing won Gold in the Health, Beauty & Wellbeing category of the Christchurch Business Awards 2025.

Organised by Marketing West, the Christchurch Business Awards celebrate the best local businesses across Christchurch, supporting and encouraging the growth and development of SMEs that contribute to our vibrant local economy.

The Christchurch Awards first took place in 2022, with Bridge Health & Wellbeing winning New Business of the Year. In 2023, we scooped the Outstanding Business of the Year award. In 2024, Bridge Health & Wellbeing won My Favourite Business Gold and Silver Family Business of the Year. Since 2022, the awards have received over 500 entries.

The awards ceremony, which took place on May 8th, was well attended by companies and organisations from across Christchurch. Judges praised our impressive growth over the last few years, as well as our continued investment in the business, employment of local people, and involvement with local charities and events. This year, our charity is Chill Dorset, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing sea swimming courses for people over 18 with long-term health conditions.

“It is great to be back at the business awards,” our co-founder, Louise O’Connell, said. “Christchurch is a fantastic community, and you can see that, despite the challenges, Christchurch is thriving with so many small businesses winning awards today.

Thank you to our brilliant team and everyone who nominated and supported us. We love working with our clients and other businesses around Christchurch. The community has been so supportive since we opened our doors in 2019.”

As sponsors of the awards, we proudly presented certificates to the Excellence in Customer Service winners:

• Gold: Guardhouse Sports
• Silver: Bournemouth Airport Transfers, Christchurch Accounting Services and Reign Jewellers
