Your favourite firms from across Gedling borough can now be celebrated as nominations open for the Support Local Small Business Awards 2026
The awards, run by Gedling MP Michael Payne, will look to celebrate the contribution small businesses make to the local economy. The only criteria are that the business must be based within the Gedling constituency.

Last year more than 375 nominations in total were received and 19 winners announced.
MP Payne said: “Last year I launched my Support Local Small Business Awards where hundreds of local businesses were nominated. This year I’m running my awards once again to celebrate our amazing local small businesses.”
Returning for a second year, People across the borough can nominate their local business by naming them in an email and sending to the MP.
E-mail michael.payne.mp@parliament.uk with the subject line ‘SUPPORT LOCAL’ and the name of your small business in the body of the e-mail.
Residents have until Saturday, December 6 to nominate their favourite small business.





So many on Carlton Hill.
