Sponsorship
Align your brand with the most prestigious awards for South West Business.
The South West & Community Awards is the region’s largest and most prestigious business awards programme. It celebrates businesses of all shapes and sizes. We have the audience you want to meet, from charities, and community groups to new start-ups and entrepreneurs to established SMEs and the FTSE 100.
We provide exciting content to align your brand to, including our exhibition networking events, media coverage in our national publication, and a rigorous judging process. This culminates in a glittering awards ceremony with over 250 business leaders at the prestigious awards ceremony.
Why not sponsor one of the categories of the most prestigious business accolade in the Thames Valley? Your sponsorship will enable you to support and target a specific type of business, placing your brand in front of the business leaders you want to meet.
Why Sponsor?
Welcome to the ultimate opportunity to showcase your brand! Our awards provide a unique platform for companies to promote their products and services to a captive audience.

Our awards have earned the utmost respect of the industry and have sponsors such as Vodafone UK, Lexus, BMW, Lloyds Bank, Just Cash Flow PLC.
Increase Your Regional Marketing
Being a sponsor at the South West & Community Awards will provide you with months' worth of ongoing targeted marketing, advertising, brand awareness, and extensive national and regional media coverage. Let us drive awareness of your company's messaging, products and services solutions for regional businesses. We provide all our sponsors with a dedicated sponsorship manager to ensure we are helping you tell your brand's message and engage with our diverse audience.
Network Regionally
Opportunities to network and engage before the awards have even begun! We understand the needs of our sponsors to engage with regional audiences, so we invite all of our sponsors to our hugely successful exhibitions, which give you opportunities for face-to-face networking throughout the year.
Over the past 13 years, our regional exhibitions have proven to be the ideal place to engage with business leaders in person. Our exhibitions bring the regional business community and attract an average of over 10,000 visitors each year.
Here are some benefits that come with our “Sponsorship package”:
Reaching the right audience: Sponsoring our events gives you a vast opportunity to communicate your message or show your brand and product to a specific desired target group of small or medium-sized businesses.
Building brand awareness and recognition: By sponsoring our events you have the chance to receive some great exposure in front of the attendees of the event that could bring your brand more awareness and recognition in the market.
Media exposure: Our events achieve a lot of publicity which is beneficial for the sponsors as well by just being mentioned in editorials and appearing in the photos of the event. This is a great chance to provide extended visibility and exposure in markets you haven’t conquered yet.
Establishing new partnerships: Another advantage of sponsoring our events is the opportunity to meet potential partners and establish new professional connections among other sponsors, vendors and even attendees.
Community involvement: By sponsoring a local event with huge significance to a specific community you’re showing your interest in providing support. To be seen supporting the community and helping its development can increase your brand’s image and popularity.
Categories are available to sponsor!
We will work closely with you to understand your objectives for sponsoring and will develop a package for you.
