Our photographer and videographer were there to capture the celebrations at the Express & Star Business Awards 2026.
Guests donned their finest glad rags for an evening of networking and recognition of their successes at University of Wolverhampton at The Halls on Thursday June 4.
The event, hosted by radio DJ Dicky Dodd, shone a spotlight on top performing businesses across the Black Country.
Nearly 300 people attended the black-tie event, which included a drinks reception, three-course dinner, a charity raffle and a silent auction in aid of Aphasia Support.
