Darren’s ‘Small Business Awards’: Nominate Today.

To celebrate Southampton’s small businesses on small business Saturday, Darren Paffey MP is asking constituents to nominate their favourite small businesses in our communities for a ‘Small Business Award’!

Last year hundreds of residents nominated and celebrated three small businesses from across the city, let’s make 2025 even bigger and better!

There will be 5 Winners overall with 3 east of the river businesses and 2 city centre businesses. 

Please nominate your favourite local small business in the form below:

Nominations close: Sunday 22nd November 2025

Darren will visit the winning businesses at the next Small Business Saturday which takes place on Saturday 6th December 2025 to award them with their certificate and try out their products/service. Darren will also invite them for a visit to Parliament to bring the best of Southampton to Westminster.

Small Business Saturday UK is a grassroots, non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to ‘shop local’ and support small businesses in their communities.
