Finalists have been announced for the 2025 Stockport Business Awards.

Hosted every year, the awards aim to "celebrate, recognise, reward, and showcase the very best that Stockport has to offer".

Locals make their own nominations, after which a panel of judges produces a shortlist - this particular shortlist was devised earlier this month, and features three nominees each in 11 different categories.
