The finalists have been announced for the Broadland and South Norfolk Business Awards 2025. The three Wymondham finalists are Hi-Span, for Excellence in Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering; Huxley Events, for South Norfolk Small Business of the Year; and Elementals Magickal Emporium for South Norfolk Retailer of the Year.

The Business Awards are an annual event held by Broadland and South Norfolk Councils to celebrate the achievements of their local companies, which are the heartbeat of the districts’ vibrant local economy.

Businesses based in the two districts were invited to nominate themselves for an award and residents in the two districts were once again asked to nominate their favourite retailer and their favourite pub.

South Norfolk Council’s Cabinet Member for planning and economic growth, Lisa Overton-Neal said: “These awards offer us a chance to congratulate our local businesses, highlight their huge success and recognise the hard work of everyone involved. Our Business Awards are just one of the many ways the Council is supporting our fantastic business community.”

Broadland District Council Cabinet Member, Martin Booth said: “We have a wide variety of businesses operating across both districts, from huge multi-nationals to one-man bands, in sectors as diverse as food and drink production, retail, insurance and tourism. It’s these businesses and the determination of the people behind them, that help our economy to thrive. This is a welcome chance for them to get the recognition they deserve.”

With the support of our headline sponsor Birketts LLP, the Councils will showcase the best of Broadland and South Norfolk’s business talent at an awards ceremony on 19 March at Norwich City Football Club.
