Get to know your 2026 judges
The shortlisting and judging process is carried out by an independent team of businesspeople from across the county, including category sponsors. We have a further bank of judges on the waiting list should any conflict of interest arise when finalists are announced. Judges may change categories due to conflict of interest.
