The Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce and the SME Bedfordshire Business Awards are delighted to announce that THSP has joined the 2026 awards programme as a Gold Sponsor, further strengthening its commitment to supporting and celebrating business excellence across the county.

As part of its sponsorship, THSP will be sponsoring one of the evening’s most prestigious accolades, the Bedford Business of the Year Award, recognising an outstanding business that has demonstrated exceptional performance, growth, innovation and contribution to the local economy.

The SME Bedfordshire Business Awards shine a spotlight on the businesses, entrepreneurs and organisations that are driving success throughout the region, and THSP’s involvement highlights its dedication to championing the thriving business community within Bedfordshire.

In addition to the company’s sponsorship, Kirsty Maynard, Commercial Operations Director at THSP, also joined the awards judging panel for 2026. Bringing a wealth of commercial expertise and strategic leadership experience, Kirsty played an important role in assessing entries and helping to identify the businesses that have truly excelled over the past year.

The SME Bedfordshire Business Awards continue to grow year on year, providing businesses with a platform to showcase their achievements, gain recognition and celebrate success alongside their peers.
