The winners of the Somerset Business Awards 2022 have been announced at a glittering event at the Winter Gardens Pavilion, in Weston-super-Mare.

The 2022 finalists come from all corners of the county.
This year was the 17th anniversary of the awards and Somerset Chamber Executive Director, Emma Rawlings, thanked everyone who had entered: “I am extremely proud of our county’s businesses; we were all blown away by the quality of the entries and what Somerset’s businesses are achieving and producing.
“It was fantastic to be able to honour winners and finalists from all corners of the county and from a wide range of sectors and industries. Thank you to everyone who entered the awards and thank you to our judges and sponsors who continue to make these the biggest and best business awards in Somerset.”
It was the 12th year main sponsor Albert Goodman had supported the awards and Partner and awards judge Michael Cahill said: “After a trying two years and an ever-changing business landscape, it felt like an in-person celebration of Somerset’s finest businesses was well and truly overdue.
“There is nothing quite like getting the leaders of some of Somerset’s most innovative, unique and worthwhile businesses coming together to celebrate one another’s achievements.
“Congratulations to all of the finalists and the winners – they should be proud of all they have achieved under incredibly trying circumstances.”
