Business and Community Awards 2025... launching soon! #CWAwards25
Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce a brand new awards programme for our region, celebrating the best of business and community!
The Coventry & Warwickshire Business and Community Awards 2025 will celebrate excellence across 10 categories, recognising innovation, growth, and commitment to the community. These awards will highlight the remarkable efforts of local businesses, community organisations and individuals who drive economic development, social progress, and foster community spirit in our region.
Our Awards Ceremony will be a joyful and memorable celebration event, showcasing the very best of Coventry & Warwickshire. We are delighted to be delivering these awards in partnership with the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry.
Corin Crane, chief executive of the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, said the awards would reflect the broad business base in the region and would celebrate commercial success as well as social value.
He said: “We’ve been talking for some time about bringing an awards event to Coventry and Warwickshire that champions the brilliance of our businesses and those who do amazing work in our communities.
“And we’re thrilled to be launching the Coventry & Warwickshire Business & Community Awards 2025 because they will do exactly that. It will be an awards event, but with a difference.
“We’ll be announcing details of our launch event very soon but this is not going to be an awards ceremony for an exclusive club – we want to celebrate everything that is great about Coventry and Warwickshire in the lead up to the event and on the night too. This is a fantastic region in so many ways – and we’re going to shout about it!”
The Belgrade Theatre will host the awards ceremony in March 2025 and has also joined forces with the Chamber as a partner on the event.
Welcome to the Coventry & Warwickshire Business and Community Awards, presented by Coventry & Wawickshire Chamber of Commerce
The Coventry & Warwickshire Business and Community Awards will shine a spotlight on the ambition, the innovation, and the dedication that drives our local economy and communities forward.
For over 120 years, Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce has worked tirelessly to help businesses start, grow and thrive in our region. Thriving businesses, and growth, means more jobs, more investment and a stronger regional economy and that should be felt right across our communities so it’s something we have to highlight and celebrate.
As a not-for-profit organisation, the Chamber is committed to celebrating our businesses, and their impact on our communities.
Our Objectives
- To be distinctly place-based in Coventry & Warwickshire, celebrating business, culture and people/community across our city & county
- To ensure all guests, finalists, sponsors, VIPs and partners enjoy a memorable, unique and joyful celebration event from arrival to departure
- To merge the use of digital and physical in delivering the awards programme and creating the production, utilising digital technology where appropriate
- To showcase local talent, food and suppliers where possible
- To be accessible, inclusive & affordable
- To be a financially sustainable annual event for our region
We want to create an exciting moment in time to fully celebrate how amazing, successful and ambitious our region truly is!
The Coventry & Warwickshire Business and Community Awards 2025 is delighted to be partnering with the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, as the host venue for our glittering Awards Ceremony.
Led by Interim CEO Neil Murray and Creative Director Corey Campbell, the Belgrade is realising its ambitious plans to build on the Theatre’s rich history of inclusion.
Born out of the post-Second World War spirit of peace and reconciliation, and named with gratitude for the Serbian capital’s gift of timber to build a new theatre, the Belgrade has offered a warm welcome to visitors since 1958.
Neil Murray, the Belgrade Theatre's Interim CEO, said: “We are delighted to work alongside the Chamber and to support this important event for our region. As a venue and an organisation in the heart of Coventry, that’s worked so closely with its varied businesses and communities since 1958, we’re incredibly proud to play host to this inaugural ceremony.
"We welcome the opportunity to show off our extraordinary building and also, hopefully, to give a flavour of the range of work that happens here and in our neighbouring communities. We look forward to extending a warm Belgrade welcome to everyone next spring.”
