For over 35 years, the Medway Business Awards have celebrated and championed the very best of Medway’s business community.
As proud sponsors, we’re delighted to announce that entries for the 2025 awards are now officially open!
Originally established to boost community spirit after the closure of the naval dockyard and local manufacturing sites, the awards have grown into a symbol of Medway’s regeneration. Today, they honour success – recognising both small and large businesses making a difference in the region. This year the awards will be sponsored by successful organisations, also local to the area including: Furley Page, Kreston Reeves, Craven Street Wealth, Midkent College, Uniper, Medway Council, University of Greenwich and GrainLng.
