Preparations are well underway for what promises to be our biggest event to date. This week marked another milestone in the history of the Golden Bridge Awards, with Tuesday, 2nd and Wednesday, 3rd December hosting the 25th jury meeting for the Golden Bridge Awards. This two-day gathering was to select the winners of this landmark edition. 14 outstanding finalists presented their achievements, innovations, and international ambitions to this year’s distinguished panel.
Hosted at the KBC offices in London, the jury meeting brought together representatives from the BLCC, the Embassies of Belgium and Luxembourg, and our valued sponsors: KBC Bank, Try Lunn & Co, Branch Austin McCormick, Kellands Financial Planning, and Newfields Law. Their combined expertise ensured a rigorous, fair, and insightful evaluation process.
Across the two days, finalists delivered their pitches both in person and via video call, with some joining live from international exhibitions and trade fairs. Each company showcased its latest projects, innovations, and growth stories, demonstrating the remarkable strength of Belgian and Luxembourg trade in the UK.
This year’s finalists competed across seven award categories, including the five core awards that lie at the heart of the Golden Bridge Awards:
- Environmental Excellence: Celebrating companies committed to reducing their environmental footprint.
- Innovate and Elevate: Recognising businesses driving innovation through ideas, products, or services.
- Social Impact: Honouring organisations making a measurable positive difference in society.
- Rising Star: Celebrating SMEs exhibiting strong early growth and long-term potential.
- International Growth & Investment: Recognising companies successfully expanding into global markets.
To mark the 25th edition, two exclusive milestone awards will also be presented, shining a spotlight on previous winners who continue to excel internationally:
- Sustained Success: Recognising former winners who have maintained long-term excellence.
- Visionary Leaders: Celebrating past winners who demonstrate exceptional resilience and adaptability.
After careful deliberation, the jury has officially selected the winners; however, their identities remain a secret until the awards evening itself.
