The prestigious Oldham Business Awards (OBAs) are open for entries for 2025.
The awards, now in their 17th year, recognise and reward business excellence, acumen and entrepreneurial spirit among Oldham businesses of all sizes and guises.
They also celebrate the community contribution made by local good causes, which saw £2,500 each donated to Mahdlo Youth Zone and Dr Kershaw’s Hospice thanks to the generosity of guests and sponsors at last year’s gala night – taking the charity fundraising total to more than £60,000 over the OBAs’ 16-year history.
The launch begins a nomination/application and judging process that culminates in a glittering awards night on Friday 3 October 2025.
Each year the OBAs steering group – a dedicated volunteer team drawn from a diverse range of locally based businesses, together with category sponsors, – have the challenging task of judging and selecting winners of 11 awards and the recipient of the Special Recognition Award.
