The Skegness Business Awards 2025 are officially here and this year, it’s all about celebrating the people and businesses that make our town such a special place to live, work, and visit.
On Friday 8th August, we gathered at the North Shore Hotel with a room full of local business owners, community leaders, and sponsors to kick off this year’s awards season. The atmosphere was filled with pride, passion, and excitement for what’s ahead.
Organised by the Skegness Area Business Chamber, the launch wasn’t just about outlining the categories and process, it was a celebration of the shared commitment we have to support and champion our local community. And, of course, we’re already counting down the days to the glittering Awards Night on Friday 21st November 2025.
