OLDHAM BUSINESS
AWARDS 2026


Any business, entrepreneur, or individual based in Oldham or serving the local community can be nominated. Nominations can be submitted by the business itself or by colleagues, clients, or members of the public who want to recognise outstanding achievement.

Nominations can be submitted online through the official Oldham Business Awards website. Each category has specific criteria, and you will be asked to provide details of the nominee’s achievements, impact, and contribution to the community or industry.

The awards ceremony is an annual event, usually taking place in the latter part of the year, usually early October. The exact date and venue will be announced closer to the event and will be shared on the Oldham Business Awards website and social media channels. It’s an evening of networking, celebration, and recognition of local business excellence.

Winners are chosen by the Oldham Business Awards steering group in conjunction with the category sponsors. Together, they review all nominations against the judging criteria to ensure a fair, thorough, and impartial selection process.

Yes! The Oldham Business Awards ceremony is open to all members of the local business community, supporters, and guests. Tickets can be purchased closer to the event, offering you a chance to network, celebrate local achievements, and enjoy the evening’s entertainment.
