Judging for the 2023 Oxfordshire Business Awards is complete, and a shortlist of 32 businesses from across Oxfordshire can now be announced.
Finalists have been announced across the 12 Award categories, including Purposeful Business, Marketing Excellence, New, Small and Large Business. All of the finalists will be in for the chance of winning the overall Business of the Year Award which this year, is sponsored by Thomas Franks.
Since the Oxfordshire Business Awards began in 1994, the Awards has recognised the achievements of thousands of the county’s businesses, including accolades for business entrepreneurs, technology excellence and innovation.
Organised and supported by 15 of the county’s leading organisations, the Awards recognises, rewards and promotes the excellence of Oxfordshire-based businesses and organisations.
“We are delighted with the calibre of entries that came in from across the whole of the county, and each one of our finalists deserves their place on the shortlist,” said OXBA Director, Nigel Tipple.
“I believe that the growth of our local businesses and the strength of their performance to date is indicative of just how attractive Oxfordshire is to do business” he added.

"We would like to congratulate all of the shortlisted finalists and on behalf of the Sponsors, we wish them the best of luck on the night. For 27 years, the Oxfordshire Business Awards has recognised and celebrated the entrepreneurs, businesses, and indeed people, that make Oxfordshire a vibrant place to work and live.
