Over 70 businesses and individuals have been shortlisted for the West London Business Awards 2026. A competitive judging process saw entries considered from all West London’s key sectors – from manufacturers to advanced computing technologies, once again showcasing the diversity of the West London economic area.
Now in its 13th year, the West London Business Awards spotlights the breadth of business excellence in our capital city*. New categories for 2026 include The West London ‘One to Watch’ Award for fast-growth businesses; West London ‘Business Booster’ of the Year, for incubators and changemakers; and The West London Hero Award, for individuals who have demonstrated unwavering commitment to their role and team.
Shortlisted entrants include representatives from across West London, including Brentford Football Club in the London Borough of Hounslow (Environmental Corporate of the Year category), Ealing’s Valueleaf Global in two categories (Professional Services Company of the Year and Innovative Company of the Year), and Hillingdon’s Reach Foods in the Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Business of the year category.

Some of the shortlist are hoping to hold on to their accolades for another year, such as Harrow’s JGA Group, who won Education & Training Provider of the Year in 2025. Will they make it two years in a row? As in previous years, winners will not be announced until the awards gala ceremony, at Allianz Stadium on Friday 27th February 2025.
A milestone in the West London business calendar, the 13th anniversary awards ceremony will bring together over 500 guests from across London’s business community, as well as representation from central and local government. Awards partners include: Heathrow Airport, United Colleges Group, APCOA, Fujitsu, HRUC, HSBC, Palletways, SEGRO, Westfield London, Venture X, Brentford Football Club, Allianz Stadium, Stage Engage, and Brunel University London.
Andrew Dakers, Chief Executive of West London Business, and a member of the judging panel said; “This marks the thirteenth year of the West London Business Awards, and I am proud that the calibre of entries and shortlisted businesses and entrepreneurs goes from strength to strength. As usual, our judges had many tough decisions to make from a range of high-quality entries which reflects the ever-changing face of business in our area. We are seeing more international and entrepreneurial organisations setting up shop in West London and we are confident this year’s shortlist reflects that diversity.
“Our gala awards ceremony on Friday 27th February is set to once again highlight the incredible talent, creativity, and entrepreneurial drive that defines our local business community. The awards and ceremony provide a fantastic opportunity to come together, connect, and celebrate collective success.”
