Celebrating the best in businesses across the Black Country & Staffordshire

About the Awards

The Express & Star Business Awards were the ultimate celebration of innovation, achievement, and excellence across the vibrant spectrum of our region's commercial landscape. These prestigious awards spotlighted outstanding businesses and fueled a dynamic campaign that championed success stories and showcased best practices, inspiring the entire community.

This year there were 13 categories, including two exciting new categories for 2025. The awards were free and easy to enter, and any company or organisation based in and around Black Country, South Staffordshire, and North Worcestershire regions, reflecting the Express & Star circulation area, could sign up. The deadline for entries was 28th March.

The journey culminated in a dazzling awards night at The Halls Wolverhampton on Thursday, June 5, 2025, where the finest finalists, esteemed sponsors, and prominent figures from the business and civic world gathered for an unforgettable evening of celebration, networking, and recognition.
