With entries closing for the Tonbridge Business Awards yesterday, we’re taking a quick break from sorting submissions for the judges to share a Save the Date for the Tunbridge Wells Business Awards 2026!

This year’s awards ceremony will be taking place at Assembly Hall Theatre on 10th November, following two wonderful years at Trinity, and I’m we’re excited to see the Awards growing and evolving this year. With a bigger venue comes an even bigger celebration of our local businesses, including:

✨ An earlier start time
✨ VIP sponsor tables
✨ No ticket number limits
✨ A DJ and dance-floor after the ceremony

It’s great to be spending lots of time with the fabulous Assembly Hall team as we get plans underway - it’s going to be a very special night.

Entries open on the website on 7th September.

Wednesday night something really special happened…
Majury Merchandising was highly commended in the Micro Business category at the Tunbridge Wells Business Awards ✨

When you run a micro business, recognition like this means the world. There’s no boss giving you an end-of-year appraisal. It’s just you, doing the client work, the marketing, the accounts, the planning, the everything, and hoping you’re making a real difference.

Majury Merchandising is 100% me.

Every project, every forecast, every email, every tiny decision behind the scenes. So to be acknowledged just over a year into going self-employed feels incredibly special.

Being part of community has brought me so much joy. Supporting independent retailers and fashion founders (helping them make smarter, data-led decisions to grow profit) has given me purpose all over again.

The creativity and passion shaping our UK high streets is something I’ll never stop championing.

A huge thank you to for sponsoring the Micro Business category. And an extra special shout-out to Jess Gibson for organising such a fantastic evening and for championing our local business community so wholeheartedly.

For every ticket purchased, £30 was donated to Charities, and , raising nearly £7,000 for causes making a real difference right here in Tunbridge Wells. ❤️

Massive congratulations to (also highly commended) and to the brilliant .theleadershipcoach for taking home the win. And to every finalist, what an achievement.

Feeling grateful, proud and excited for what’s to come.
