SME4Labour is delighted to announce its upcoming SME4Labour Gala & Excellence Awards 2026, set to take place on 22 June 2026, from 5:00pm to 11:00pm at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House London, Park Lane.
To mark the launch, a limited Early Bird offer of 10% off tickets and tables is now available until 10 April, providing an excellent opportunity to secure your place at one of the most anticipated events celebrating small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the UK.
Why SMEs and Labour Matter Together
SMEs are the backbone of the UK economy, representing over 99% of all businesses, employing millions of people, and driving innovation and growth across every region. Their success is vital not only for economic prosperity but also for thriving local communities.
The Labour movement has long championed fairness, opportunity, and sustainable economic growth — values that strongly align with the needs and ambitions of SMEs. From access to finance and fair taxation to skills development and infrastructure, collaboration between SMEs and Labour is essential to building a balanced and inclusive economy.
SME4Labour was founded to strengthen this relationship — creating a platform where entrepreneurs, business leaders, and policymakers can come together, ensuring that the voice of small and medium-sized businesses is heard at the heart of political and economic decision-making.
About the SME4Labour Excellence Awards
The SME4Labour Excellence Awards celebrate the achievements, innovation, and resilience of SMEs from across the UK. These awards recognise businesses and individuals who are making a real impact — whether through job creation, community contribution, sustainability, or leadership.
Winners will be announced live during the Gala evening on 22 June 2026, in front of an audience of business leaders, policymakers, and key stakeholders.
Nominations Now Open
Nominations for the 2026 awards are officially open and will remain so until 25 April 2026.
