Celebrate Success: 2026 Bexley Business Awards Are Now Open!
It's that time of year again – the moment we've all been waiting for! The 2026 Bexley Business Awards are officially open for entries, and we couldn't be more excited to shine a spotlight on the incredible businesses that make our borough such a vibrant place to live, work, and shop.
Whether you're a beloved local institution that's been serving the community for decades or an exciting newcomer bringing fresh energy to our high streets, this is your chance to be recognised for your hard work, innovation, and contribution to Bexley.
Two Set of Awards, One Amazing Community
This year, we're celebrating excellence through two distinct award programmes:
The Bexley Business Awards are open to ALL businesses across the borough. From retailers and restaurants to service providers and startups, every business in Bexley is invited to showcase what makes them special.
The Bexleyheath High Street Awards celebrate the heart of our town centre and are exclusively for Bexleyheath's BID (Business Improvement District) Members. These awards recognise the businesses that keep our high street thriving.
How to Enter
Entering is simple! You can nominate your business in up to two categories that best showcase your strengths. Whether it's outstanding customer service, innovation, community impact, or business growth, we want to hear your story.

Why You Should Enter
Entering business awards isn't just about winning (though that's certainly a wonderful outcome!). It's an opportunity to reflect on your achievements, raise your business profile, boost team morale, and connect with other businesses in the community. Being shortlisted or winning can provide fantastic marketing opportunities and demonstrate to your customers that your excellence has been independently recognised.
More importantly, these awards celebrate the backbone of our local economy. Bexley's businesses create jobs, support families, sponsor local events, and give our borough its unique character. You deserve recognition for everything you do.
Every Business Has a Story
We know that behind every business is a story of dedication, resilience, and passion. Perhaps you've overcome challenges, adapted to changing times, or found innovative ways to serve your customers. Maybe you've supported local causes, mentored young people, or created a workplace where your team thrives. These are the stories we want to celebrate.
Don't be modest! Whether you've been trading for fifty years or five months, if you're delivering great service, creating quality products, or making a positive impact in Bexley, we want to hear from you.
Get Ready to Celebrate
The awards ceremony will be a fantastic opportunity to dress up, network with fellow business owners, and celebrate everything that makes Bexley's business community so special. It's an evening of recognition, inspiration, and pride in our local economy.
So what are you waiting for? Gather your information, think about which categories suit your business best, and get that entry submitted. Your competitors might already be preparing their entries – make sure you're in the running too!
Support Local, Celebrate Local
The Bexley Business Awards aren't just about competition; they're about community. By entering, you're joining a celebration of local enterprise and showing pride in your business and our borough. You're also inspiring other entrepreneurs and demonstrating that Bexley is a place where businesses can thrive.
Ready to enter? Visit the websites above and submit your entry before 6th February 2026.
