The winner of each award category, as well as the Overall Winner, will be announced at the prestigious Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony taking place on Friday 5th May 2017 at the stunning Heythrop Park, Enstone.

Thank you to all the businesses that entered this year. The standard of applications was very high, which proved challenging for our sponsors, as they had the difficult task of shortlisting each award category.

Congratulations to the following shortlisted finalists, who come from a wide range of sectors and locations, as well as representing new, established, large and small businesses.

Each finalist is in with a chance of winning an award, as well as being automatically entered into the Oxfordshire Business Awards, taking place on the 16th June 2017.
