Havering Council is delighted to announce The Orange Bin Company as the main sponsor of the Havering Small Business Awards 2026.
The sponsorship agreement marks a significant boost for this year's awards, which celebrates the innovation, resilience and success of small businesses across the Borough.
The Orange Bin Company has stepped forward as the event's main sponsor, demonstrating its commitment to supporting local enterprise and recognising the vital contribution small businesses make to Havering's economy and communities.
The announcement comes as the finalists for this year’s awards have been announced.
The Havering Small Business Awards shine a spotlight on the individuals and organisations that help drive economic growth, create jobs and provide essential services across the borough.
The awards ceremony will bring together businesses, partners and community leaders to celebrate the exceptional achievements of local entrepreneurs and firms.
Brendon Penn, Managing Director of The Orange Bin Company Limited, said:
"Every bin we place is a small piece of visibility for local business. Headline sponsoring these awards felt like the natural next step - taking that same belief in local commerce and putting it centre stage.
"Orange Bins was built on backing the businesses that make our high streets what they are.
"Stepping up as headline sponsor for the Havering Small Business Awards isn't just support from the sidelines - it's us putting our name behind the people doing the hard work every day.
"This is just the start for Orange Bins. Our ambition is to build lasting partnerships with councils and communities right across the country - not just placing bins, but backing local business and investing in the neighbourhoods we work in.
"Havering is where that story begins."
Councillor Keith Prince AM, Leader of Havering Council, said:
"I would like to thank The Orange Bin Company for coming on board as headline sponsor of the Havering Small Business Awards 2026.
"Their support demonstrates a genuine commitment to the businesses that are the backbone of our local economy.
"These awards are an important opportunity to recognise and celebrate the entrepreneurs, independent businesses and employers who help our Borough thrive.
"It is vital that we continue to host and grow these awards, showcasing the talent, innovation and determination that can be found across Havering.
"We are delighted to welcome The Orange Bin Company as our headline sponsor and look forward to working with them to make this year's awards another outstanding success."
The Havering Small Business Awards 2026 will celebrate businesses from a wide range of sectors, recognising excellence in customer service, innovation, growth and community impact.
