After months of waiting, we're officially one week away from the Barnsley & Rotherham Business Awards 2026...

Will your name be called?
Will your team be heading to the stage?
Will this be the year your hard work gets the recognition it deserves?

From the anticipation before each category is announced to the celebrations that follow, there's nothing quite like awards night.

📻 Yesterday, proud Patron, Brearley & Co Accountants, featured on BBC Radio 5 Live following the Chancellor’s Budget. Take a listen ⬇️

Managing Director of Brearley & Co Accountants, Mark Smallman, joined Hannah in Rotherham to share what the announcements mean for businesses, from the ongoing cost of employment to investment in young people and the future workforce.

While Mark welcomed the stability provided by the Budget, he made it clear that many businesses are still feeling the effects of previous tax increases, with rising employment costs making recruitment and growth more difficult.

🗣️ Mark Smallman said:

“I was given a break when I was young and we want to continue to give people that break, but it needs to be more affordable.”

Mark highlighted the difficult decisions employers face when considering whether to recruit and train young people, warning that the cost of employing people remains a significant barrier to business growth.

His message reinforces the importance of giving businesses the confidence and financial headroom to invest in people, create opportunities and support South Yorkshire’s future workforce.

Thank you to Mark and the team at Brearley & Co. Accountants, one of our proud Patrons, for sharing the realities facing businesses across our region on a national platform.

The Chancellor's Budget takes important steps towards addressing some of the challenges holding back business growth, while providing much-needed breathing space for households and businesses.

We called on the Chancellor, Rt Hon John Healey, to lower the cost of employment, tackle youth unemployment and give businesses the confidence to invest, innovate and grow.

🗣️ Matt Travis, President of Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber, said:

"𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒍𝒚 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒓, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚. 𝑻𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚'𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒂 𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒑𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒕𝒉, 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒔𝒕 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉-𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔."

For South Yorkshire, the commitment to a new technology innovation hub in the Don Valley and additional funding to support the reopening of Doncaster Airport are particularly welcome announcements that could help strengthen the region's long-term economic competitiveness.

The focus will now be on the detail behind today's measures and how quickly businesses begin to feel the benefits.

Every conversation starts somewhere. It could make more of a difference than you realise 💚

This World Mental Health Day, we’re proud to recognise our Charity of the Year, Rotherham Samaritans, and support their message that reaching out to someone who might be struggling helps them feel less alone.

For more than 40 years, Rotherham Samaritans volunteers have provided confidential, non-judgemental emotional support to people experiencing distress and despair.

At Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber, we know the value of bringing people together. Our networking events create opportunities to build relationships, share experiences and start conversations.

A simple check-in with a colleague or a genuine chat with someone at an event could make a difference to someone who is having a difficult time.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s make time to⤵️

💚 Check in with the people around us.
💚 Listen without judgement.
💚 Reach out if we’re worried about someone.
💚 Remember that we don’t need to have all the answers to show we care.

You don’t need to be an expert to make a difference. Sometimes, starting a conversation is enough to help someone take the next step.

If you or someone you know needs support, Samaritans are available free, day or night, on 116 123.
