The News’ Business Excellence Awards recognise, reward and celebrate all the successful businesses and professional individuals within Portsmouth and surrounding areas. The awards, now in their eighteenth year, seek entries from a cross section of businesses who have shown exceptional growth, innovation or an outstanding contribution to the community in which they operate. Do you know a business or individual that deserves to be recognised at the city’s most prestigious awards?

Entries are now open until Friday 9th November, following which our independent judging panel will debate over the hundreds of nominations before selecting an outstanding selection of finalists and winners. All will be invited to attend the black tie gala awards which will be held at the Portsmouth Guildhall on Friday, February 1 2019 for an evening of business networking, celebration and reward! This is a sell out event so book your table early to avoid disappointment.
