Celebrating Doncaster’s Business Success as Applications Open for the 2026 Business Awards

With 20 categories on offer, including new additions such as the Doncaster Champion and sector‑specific awards, there is a category to suit everyone, encouraging wide participation.

Recognised as South Yorkshire’s largest business celebration, the Doncaster Business Awards welcomed over 900 attendees in 2025, offering an unrivalled platform to showcase your achievements. From championing innovation to demonstrating meaningful impact, the awards feature a wide range of categories designed to reflect success across Doncaster’s diverse business community.

Dan Fell, Chief Executive of the Doncaster Chamber, said: “The Doncaster Business Awards are a clear reflection of the talent, ambition and creativity that runs through our local economy. Recognition matters because confidence matters, and celebrating achievement plays a vital role in that. By putting businesses in the spotlight, we’re acknowledging the commitment and hard work behind their success. That recognition helps raise their profile, strengthen belief and enables organisations to move forward with confidence”

With TwentyFour IT Services returning as headline sponsor, their continued involvement is central to celebrating excellence within Doncaster’s business community. As a trusted technology partner, they empower organisations across the region with innovative and reliable IT, Cyber Security and AI & Automation solutions that support growth and long-term success. This collaboration represents a shared focus on local prosperity, helping to highlight outstanding achievements while reinforcing Doncaster’s reputation as a thriving place to do business.

Mike Smith, Managing Director of TwentyFour IT Services, said: “The Doncaster Business Awards are the opportunity for the companies that deliver Doncaster’s commercial activity to shine. The region is packed with talented people and the recognition of the business community matters. These awards illustrate the confidence to achieve, and that achievement matters within the local economy. These companies are the future, and we are privileged to be able to contribute to their success.”

Jade Dyer, Chief Operating Officer at Doncaster Chamber, said: “The Doncaster Business Awards are about more than a moment of recognition, they are a powerful reminder of what our business community achieves every day. The process itself is deliberately rigorous, encouraging businesses to pause, reflect and truly value the progress they’ve made over the past year, something that is so often lost in the pace of running a business. All of this builds towards a night like no other, where the business community comes together in a spirit of pride and shared success, celebrating not just individual achievements, but the strength and ambition of Doncaster as a whole.”

Businesses looking to highlight their strengths and be recognised for their achievements can find full application details on the Doncaster Chamber website.
