The awards recognise excellence across six categories within Suffolk's financial, insurance and professional services sectors.
Businesses can apply for multiple categories, while nominations from other companies will count towards overall scoring for applicants.
Finalists will be announced on 8th September 2025.
What's next: The awards dinner takes place on 23rd October from 18:00-22:00 at Chef White's at Suffolk New College. Individual tickets cost £50, with tables of five priced at £225 and full tables of 10 at £450.
The price includes a three-course set meal, complimentary canapés and arrival drinks, plus bar access throughout the evening.
