Thank you to our Judges for 2026

Meet our expert panel of judges for the C2S Business Awards 2025.

 

A huge thank you to our 40 judges that took part in the C2S Business Awards 2026. They dedicated the time to read through all the entries, a huge and difficult task as the standard of entries was so high.

The judges were looking for individuals and organisations who had achieved great success. Whether that be through leadership, training, innovation, growth, people, community, culture, diversity, or sustainability – these awards recognise and celebrate hard work and achievement.

The judges were keen to understand each entrant’s journey — what they had achieved, the changes and improvements they had implemented, and how they had navigated key challenges such technological change, business growth, and people-related issues.
