The Business Excellence Award recognises those small and medium enterprises who strive for continuous improvement in their business.

Applications for the 2026 Business Excellence Award have opened!

Open to Small and Medium enterprises based in Ayrshire who are committed to excellence and follow a path of continuous improvement.

The award is free to enter and open to any company with less than 250 employees with the winners being announced at our 2026 Annual Dinner at Trump Turnberry.

The Business Excellence Award is not only a prestigious award, but also a hugely beneficial process for your business. The unique application process requires you to evaluate your own business and performance.

There are many businesses achieving excellence without receiving relevant recognition. So, if your business is following a path of continuous improvement, why not enter? The fundamental concepts of excellence can be recognised in top performing organisations be they large or small, for profit or not for profit.

Applications close at 5pm on Friday 28th November 2025.
