The judges for The 25th Sport Industry Awards

Across 25 categories, the judges will be responsible for assessing the most exceptional, innovative and impactful work delivered over the past 12 months, recognising the achievements that have shaped the industry in 2025.

While the work being judged reflects the last year, the Awards night itself will honour the stories, progress and people who have defined the past 25 years of the Sport Industry Awards.

The Sport Industry Awards continues to pride itself on one of the most transparent, credible, and stringent judging processes in the sector, fully overseen by our independent adjudicators to ensure fairness and integrity at every stage.

Dylan Pugh, Managing Director at Sport Industry Group, said, “Reaching the 25th year of the Sport Industry Awards is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of. Every year, the quality of work we see across the sector continues to rise, and this year’s judging panel, our largest and most diverse yet, reflects the brilliance, expertise and leadership that exists within the sport industry today.

“We’re hugely grateful to all of our judges for giving their time and insight to such a fair, rigorous and independent process. Their commitment ensures the Awards remain the gold standard for recognising excellence in our industry. We can’t wait to celebrate both this year’s achievements and 25 years of outstanding sport industry work at The 25th Sport Industry Awards in April.”

With the Judging Panel confirmed, the journey to the 25th Sport Industry Awards is officially underway.
