The Central South Business Awards recognise the organisations and individuals who make a positive impact across the region. Delivered in partnership with Business South, the awards highlight commitment, creativity, and the achievements of those who help their communities and industries thrive.

We are pleased to continue our support for the Businessperson of the Year Award in 2026. We have sponsored this category since 2023 and remain committed to celebrating outstanding leadership within the Central South. The award recognises an individual who demonstrates strong leadership, dedication, and a meaningful contribution to their organisation and the wider community.

Winners and finalists will be celebrated at the gala awards ceremony on 13 May 2026 at the Leonardo Grand Harbour Hotel in Southampton.
