Cardiff Excellence Awards has never been short of excellence. It is time we celebrated it properly. Join us at Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday, 29 October 2026, for the official launch of the inaugural Cardiff Excellence Awards 2026–27—a new regional platform created to recognise the businesses, entrepreneurs, professionals and women leaders making Cardiff Excellence Awards impossible to ignore. From ambitious start-ups and established family businesses to innovative entrepreneurs, inspiring leaders and organisations creating meaningful community impact, the Cardiff Excellence Awards will give the people behind the region’s success the recognition they deserve. This is more than the launch of another awards programme. It is the beginning of a new Cardiff Excellence Awards business tradition. The official launch will introduce the vision, themes and nomination process behind the Cardiff Excellence Awards. Entries are completely free, and businesses may enter more than one relevant category. Businesses may nominate themselves, while customers, colleagues, suppliers and members of the public may also nominate an organisation or individual they believe deserves recognition. Eligible nominations will be assessed against clearly defined category criteria by an independent panel of business leaders, industry specialists and academic or sector experts. The Cardiff Excellence Awards are designed to recognise genuine achievement—not popularity, paid placement or the size of an organisation’s marketing budget.
