The South West has always been home to some of the UK’s most inspiring entrepreneurs, innovators, and community-minded leaders. From Bath and Bristol to Wiltshire, Somerset, and Gloucestershire, our region is rich in business excellence, creative talent, and people who make things happen.
At Calibre 100, we believe that recognising and celebrating this talent is vital. Business awards not only highlight outstanding achievement but also raise standards, inspire innovation, and strengthen the local economy by shining a light on those making a genuine difference.
Entering (and winning) business awards can be transformational. Beyond the trophies and titles, awards help elevate brand credibility, attract new opportunities, and build trust with clients, partners, and investors. They also create powerful stories, the kind that remind teams why their work matters and motivate others to aim higher.
In a competitive digital world, third-party recognition is one of the strongest forms of social proof a business can have. Whether it’s an award for innovation, leadership, sustainability, or customer experience, every accolade reinforces your commitment to excellence.
Across the South West, the business landscape is thriving. The region boasts a diverse mix of industries, from advanced engineering and sustainable architecture to hospitality, professional services, and creative design.
Recent winners of regional awards have showcased everything from cutting-edge technology firms in Bristol to family-run enterprises in Bath and Wiltshire that continue to inspire through community engagement and purpose-driven growth.
At Calibre 100, we’re proud to have members and partners among the finalists and winners of some of the most prestigious awards in the South West. Their success reflects the high calibre of leadership, collaboration, and innovation that defines our growing network.
We believe success should be celebrated not just by national award panels but by peers who understand what it takes to lead, grow, and make an impact. That’s why Calibre 100 events regularly showcase and champion the achievements of our members, spotlighting those who go above and beyond in business and in the community.
Each award or recognition, big or small, is a reminder that behind every successful company is a team of dedicated people striving to make a positive difference.
As we head towards the end of the year, we’ll continue to celebrate and support South West businesses that exemplify integrity, creativity, and leadership. The 2026 awards season promises to be one of the most exciting yet, and Calibre 100 will be there to share, applaud, and promote the region’s brightest success stories.
If you or someone you know is up for an award, or deserves to be, we’d love to hear from you.
Kind Regards,
