Excellence Awards

 

'In Greater Manchester, Excellence isn't a Goal, it's a Habit.'

Greater Manchester Chamber's annual Excellence Awards are a region-wide initiative designed to celebrate the best, most innovative businesses in our city-region. The Excellence Awards open each year in the spring, with judging taking place over the summer, and our infamous awards ceremony in the Autumn.

In 2025, we had over 200 outstanding entries across 17 categories including Super Connector, Sustainable Team and Innovator of the Year. Take a look at the 2025 winners and categories and start planning your entries for 2026!
