We are delighted to be sponsoring the Christchurch Business Awards again this year. This will be the sixth year running we have supported these local awards, which recognise the brilliant businesses in our area.

The award is open to businesses that are less than three years old and have demonstrated enterprise, vision, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit in establishing a successful new business. These inspiring businesses will be seen as role models for other new businesses.
We were delighted and honoured to win this category ourselves back in 2022, at the inaugural Christchurch Business Awards. Our first few years in business were quite a rollercoaster, and we know just how much hard work it takes to make a new business a success. Starting a new business takes courage, bravery and determination, which deserve to be celebrated.
If you know an amazing business in and around Christchurch that deserves recognition, why not nominate it today?
This year’s awards are open for entries and nominations and include twelve categories, from Best Place to Work and Best Green/Eco Business, to Family Business of the Year and more. Entries are free and close on Monday, 21st September. The Awards Ceremony will take place on Thursday, 12th November.
A massive amount of time and effort goes into hosting the awards, and we thank the organisers, Marketing West, for all their hard work in celebrating business excellence in our community. They recognise and reward entrepreneurial businesses that have made significant contributions to our local economy, business innovation, and community spirit.
We look forward to celebrating the best of Christchurch businesses and crowning more winners in 2026 🏆
