The Hertfordshire Business Awards 2026
Celebrating Hertfordshire's business success stories
The Hertfordshire Business Awards programme organised by biz4Biz, return for their eighth year. These Awards are impartial, independent and open to Hertfordshire-based businesses.
The Hertfordshire Business Awards programme organised by biz4Biz, is recognised as the best business awards programme in Hertfordshire as it brings together the highest number of nominees from across the county and provides physical judging. Winning a biz4Biz Award is coveted and award winners continue to expand their businesses and extend their economic contribution to the greater success of Hertfordshire.
There are many excellent award schemes but none have such a high level of support and engagement, or attract the volume of nominations from across the county and all business sectors. Our 2025 Awards programme was such a fantastic success and set a new high bar for the number of attendees, nominations, votes and social media engagement.
Entry and participation are completely free of charge.
