A ROSS-on-Wye based company has scooped two top awards at the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce’s annual business awards.

Dawleys Services, based on the Ashburton Industrial Estate, was crowned as being the Business of the Year and Leading Employer of the Year.

Dawleys operate a tailored outsource customer service, fulfilment and data management solutions.

Held at the University Arena in Worcester, the awards ceremony, sponsored by both Herefordshire Council and Worcestershire County Council, brought together a vibrant community of over 700 business professionals for an unforgettable evening of recognition and celebration.

The annual awards serve as a powerful platform to highlight and celebrate the exceptional talent, innovation, and resilience within the local business community. With companies of all sizes and sectors represented, the awards showcase the very best that Herefordshire and Worcestershire have to offer. This year’s competition was especially fierce, with 15 awards up for grabs across a wide range of categories—from start-up enterprises and family-run firms to export champions and sustainability leaders.

The quality of entries was nothing short of phenomenal, making the judging process incredibly challenging and underlining the strength and dynamism of businesses across our counties. Each winner of an individual category was then put forward for the evening’s most prestigious accolade: the Business of the Year Award, sponsored by Herefordshire Council and Worcestershire County Council, which recognises outstanding overall performance, leadership, and impact.

Other awards went to the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity which won the Charity Business of the Year; Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service was awarded the award for Health and Wellbeing in the Workplace.

The Chamber extends a heartfelt thank you to every business that entered this year’s awards. Your hard work, determination, and achievements are what make our region thrive—and we are honoured to celebrate your successes.
