Hammersmith BID has been announced as a lead sponsor of the Hammersmith & Fulham Business Awards 2026, which return this year to celebrate the ambition, innovation and resilience of the borough’s business community. The BID will sponsor the prestigious Hammersmith Business of the Year category.
The awards, which opened for nominations on 30 April, give local organisations the chance to raise their profile and gain official recognition for the hard work behind their success. Businesses of all sizes—from start-ups and independents to established SMEs and larger corporates—are encouraged to put themselves forward.
This year’s programme features 19 award categories, all open to self-nomination. Entrants may submit up to two categories, with nominations closing at 1pm on Wednesday 1 July. Shortlisted businesses will be announced on Wednesday 15 July.
The awards ceremony will take place on Thursday 17 September in the Playfair Hall at Hammersmith & Fulham Council’s newly redeveloped town hall and Civic Campus. The event is expected to bring together entrepreneurs, business leaders and community partners from across the borough.
Hammersmith BID said it was proud to support an initiative that highlights the strength and diversity of the local economy. The awards, now a fixture in the borough’s business calendar, aim to shine a spotlight on the achievements of companies that contribute to H&F’s economic and cultural life.
Businesses interested in entering are encouraged to submit their nominations early to ensure they are considered.

Value Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism. Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site. |
