The Hertfordshire Business Awards 2025
The biz4Biz Hertfordshire Business Awards celebrated their seventh year in 2025, continuing to champion excellence across the county. Independent, impartial, and open to all Hertfordshire‑based businesses, the Awards have become a benchmark of achievement.
Widely recognised as Hertfordshire’s leading business awards programme, biz4Biz attracts the highest number of nominees from across every sector. With rigorous, in‑person judging, winning a biz4Biz Award is a highly sought‑after accolade. Past winners have gone on to grow their businesses and strengthen their economic impact, contributing to the county’s ongoing success.
While many award schemes exist, none match the breadth of support, engagement, and nominations that biz4Biz receives. The 2025 programme was a record‑breaker, with unprecedented levels of nominations, votes, and coverage across press and social media — a true testament to the Awards’ standing in the Hertfordshire business community.
