SME Pre Launch opportunity!
SMEs across the Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire area are being called to celebrate their achievements and be in with a chance of winning by entering the SME MK and Buckinghamshire Business Awards 2026.
We’re currently in the pre-launch phase, giving local businesses a fantastic early opportunity to get involved. During pre-launch, the cost to enter is just £13 + VAT per entry – a great value for those eager to make their mark early on.
These prestigious awards will be introduced on Thursday, 27th November at the Meet of MK, where SMEs from across the county will gather to make key industry connections, learn more about the awards, and scope out the competition.
Jo Ronan, Head of Commercial Partnerships at MKFM, said:
MKFM is very happy to be able to support the SME Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire Business Awards as the official media partner. As a community radio station, we are excited to have the chance to amplify the success stories and achievements of hardworking small and medium enterprises across the county.”
Awards Director Damian Cummins shares:
"2026 is the time for SMEs in the local area to shine. Show off your best moments and celebrate the past year by entering the awards. A win is invaluable to your promotion as a local business – so why wait?"
Local businesses are encouraged to enter up to three different categories to maximise their chances of reaching the finals. The SME MK and Buckinghamshire Business Awards feature 23 categories, and almost all gold winners will automatically be entered into the SME National Business Awards, held at the incredible QEII, Westminster in 2026.
"Entering business awards offers exceptional marketing and PR opportunities throughout, as well as increasing your credibility and helping you stand out from your competitors," Damian added.
"We’d love to see all successful businesses from across MK and Buckinghamshire take advantage of this opportunity and enter the awards."
