Countdown begins to ‘extra special’ Liverpool Chamber awards


The shortlist is now being decided for this year’s Innovation in Business Awards, organised by Liverpool Chamber and in association with Lexus Liverpool. With nominations now closed, both the shortlist and tickets will be released in July.

There are a total of 13 award categories, including honours for talent development, product innovation, and customer service excellence. Individual awards such as the Rising Star and Liverpool Legacy celebrate personal achievement, while two overall Business of the Year titles will recognise outstanding performance among both smaller and larger firms.

The awards will form a major part of Liverpool Chamber’s 175th Anniversary celebrations, with winners revealed at a gala ceremony at St George’s Hall on Thursday 23 October, in front of more than 400 local business leaders.

For the first time, this year’s winners will be chosen entirely by a dedicated judging panel, with further details to be announced soon.

Paul Cherpeau, Chief Executive of Liverpool Chamber, said:

“Our Innovation in Business Awards have become a key fixture in the calendar for both Chamber members and the wider Liverpool City Region business community.

“This year’s event will be particularly special as we mark our 175th Anniversary and reflect on the relationships and achievements built over that time. We’re excited to celebrate the innovation and impact of our local businesses.”

The awards are proudly headline sponsored by Lexus Liverpool. Matt Hine, Head of Business at Lexus Liverpool, added:

“Lexus Liverpool is proud to once again sponsor the Liverpool Chamber Innovation in Business Awards in 2025, especially during this landmark anniversary year.

“For 175 years, the Chamber has brought together businesses, championed local enterprise, and represented Liverpool with professionalism and pride. We look forward to celebrating the incredible talent across our region at St George’s Hall this October.”
