The Skegness Area Business Chamber (SABC) is delighted to announce the finalists for the Skegness Business Awards 2026, recognising the businesses, organisations and individuals whose hard work, innovation and commitment make a significant contribution to Skegness and the surrounding area.
Following a highly competitive nomination and judging process, finalists have been selected across a range of award categories celebrating excellence in customer service, hospitality, innovation, learning and development, community impact, health and wellbeing, and business growth.
Over the coming weeks, members of the judging panel will continue meeting with finalists ahead of the awards ceremony on 27 November 2026, when winners will be revealed and the local business community will come together to celebrate its achievements.
Paul McCooey, Chair of the Skegness Area Business Chamber, said:
“Every year, the Skegness Business Awards provide an opportunity to celebrate the people, businesses and organisations that make our area such a vibrant and successful place. The standard of entries this year has been exceptional, demonstrating the passion, resilience and innovation that exists throughout our business community.
“Congratulations to all of our finalists on reaching this stage. The judges have had the privilege of hearing some truly inspiring stories and seeing first-hand the positive impact these businesses and individuals have on our local economy and community.
“On behalf of the Chamber, I would like to thank everyone who entered, our sponsors for their valued support, and our judging panel for the time and dedication they have given throughout the process. We look forward to celebrating with all of our finalists at the awards ceremony on 27 November and wish them the very best of luck.”
