Businesses from across the Isle of Wight are celebrating after being named as finalists in the 2026 Isle of Wight Chamber Business Awards, which will take place on Friday 11th September.
The Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce has unveiled this year’s shortlist, with winners set to be announced at a special gala evening at Bembridge Fort – a new venue for 2026.
Recognising excellence, innovation and achievement across the Island’s business community, the awards bring together organisations of all sizes and sectors, from established names to emerging enterprises making their mark for the first time.
This year’s event marks an exciting new chapter for the Awards, with Bembridge Fort providing a spectacular setting for one of the highlights of the Island’s business calendar.
Rob Johnson, Chief Executive of the Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce, said:
“Every year, the Chamber Awards remind us just how much talent, ambition, and innovation we have on the Isle of Wight, and this year is no exception.
“Our finalists represent an impressive mix of businesses and organisations from every sector and of every size. It’s fantastic to see some familiar names returning alongside many businesses engaging with the awards for the first time.
“That blend of established success and fresh energy says a great deal about the strength and vibrancy of our business community. Congratulations to everyone who has been shortlisted. Reaching this stage is an achievement in itself, and we look forward to bringing the Island business community together for what promises to be a memorable evening.”
