Bradford Means BUSINESSiQ and the Telegraph & Argus are delighted to once again be bringing you the Bradford District Business Awards for 2025.
For the first time, we are proud to announce a new partnership with LNER – our headline partner this year, and we thank them for their invaluable support.
This is your opportunity as a local business based here in the Bradford district to shine and give you, your teams, your customers and potential new customers an opportunity to see you at your best, to take a moment to reflect on what you have achieved over the past 12 months and give yourself a virtual pat on the back.
These business awards mean more than just a shiny trophy in the cabinet.
They are a testament that you are doing a good job, that your customers choose the right company to work with, and they give your staff a positive boost about the company they work for.
As for us, we get the exciting task of judging the entries alongside our wonderful sponsors, highlighting those shortlisted, and then toasting the winners.
We will tell YOUR story in print and online to more than 80 per cent of all adults in the district.
How to take part
Entering the awards is easy – just follow this link to complete it.
The more you tell us, the more we can make sure we select the best to be shortlisted.
Entry is FREE and for every entry that makes the shortlist, you will be featured in the nominee’s supplement later in the year, and also receive two complimentary tickets to the awards night.
The winners will be announced at our gala dinner on the 11th July.
The Categories
We have changed a couple of the categories this year to reflect key aspirations in the district.
We have added a ‘Best Professional Services’ award to celebrate the local business that demonstrates excellence in professional service delivery.
