ASB Awards 2026 - Finalists announced

In this, our 30th anniversary year, we’ve introduced a broader range of awards, designed to better reflect the wonderful variety of businesses and businesswomen within our membership. 

 And what a response we had! 

With nearly 160 entries, our judges certainly had their work cut out. But what a lovely opportunity it has given us to learn more about our members, their businesses, their ambitions and their achievements.
