Strong businesses build strong communities.
The EADT Business Awards highlight the innovators, employers, and leaders who make our region thrive. Join us in celebrating the achievements that shape our future.
The East Anglian Daily Times Business Awards are held every year to join together Suffolk’s business community for a unique black tie evening, to celebrate the achievements, individuals and significant milestones that mark a company’s journey.
They connect like-minded professionals, provide a unique environment for networking and help raise your company’s brand profile through increased coverage across media platforms. Whether it’s a fresh start-up or long-standing enterprise we love cheering on the exciting businesses that call Suffolk home. This celebration recognises the passion, innovation, and outstanding achievements that make our local business community exceptional. Over the years, we’ve witnessed remarkable growth, resilience, and creativity, and it’s an honour to celebrate these qualities.
Events like this highlight the vibrancy and importance of Suffolk’s business landscape, full of talented individuals and organisations driving positive change and success. It’s a privilege to come together and recognise those shaping the future of our region.
The awards opened for entries on Wednesday 21st January. We have 10 categories open for entry, of which we will accept entries up until midnight on Sunday 29 March. Judging will then take place which involves round one based on your submission, then round two organised meetings enabling two judges per category to further judge against the set category criteria.
