SME London Business Awards
Following the success of London Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inaugural SME Business Awards in February 2024, we're delighted to announce that pre-launch entries are now open for 2025.
Business awards are a credible opportunity to support and share in our vision to raise the profile of industrious, hardworking and enterprising SME’s in the region. Awards are a sought after accolade of achievement, a veritable endorsement of success in business which offers exceptional marketing and PR opportunities as well as increasing your credibility and standing in the eyes of your peers and your customers.
SMEs from London are invited to apply. All entries are judged by up to 4 of our national panel of judges. If you want your business to shine, this is the best possible way to hit the spotlight.
About the SME London Business Awards
The awards celebrate the success, talent and dedication to be found amongst small businesses across the capital.
Firms of up to 250 employees are invited to enter into 19 different categories ranging from best entrepreneur to best young business leader, with the chance of winning either the Gold or Silver in their chosen category and the potential to be crowned as overall winner of the LCCI SME Awards.
Finalists will be invited to attend the black-tie awards night in February 2025 - a ceremony which promises celebration and entertainment.
Celebrating SMEs in London
SMEs are the lifeblood of our city. As London’s biggest independent representative organisation for SMEs, we intrinsically understand the contribution they bring to London, making it the best city in the world to do business in. All of the awards are a testament to the hard work, ingenuity and innovation that our winners have displayed.
Does your business has what it takes to win? Apply today to find out. You can enter up to 3 categories.
Highlighting exemplars in our business community
Hosted by TV presenter James Green, the 2024 black-tie awards at the Park Plaza London Riverbank hotel, was the perfect opportunity to celebrate the achievements of SMEs across London. Over 300 guests enjoyed the awards ceremony which included a drinks reception, three-course meal and surprise entertainment for Singer Waiter and Chef duo.
