The Best of Business Awards 2025 event by the NH Business Review brought together the top businesses in New Hampshire for a night of recognition, networking, and tailgate-inspired fun. Held on Thursday, March 13, 2025, at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord, this high-energy event celebrated the outstanding companies that make New Hampshire thrive! The energy was electric and their team said it was their most joined event in years! The event wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of sponsors, including Comcast Business, Service Credit Union, Northeast Delta Dental, Harvey Construction, Bangor Savings Bank, TF Moran, and the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire. A special thank you to this years nonprofit partner, Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Manchester, for their incredible work in the community. It was so wonderful to see Diane Fitzpatrick the 2025 Citizen of the Year enjoying a moment for a photo here with one of the NH Business Review editors.
A Tailgate Party Like No Other
This year’s BOB Awards event was anything but a traditional formal event, and that’s what made it special. Attendees swapped out black-tie attire for their favorite team jerseys, hats, and game-day gear, embracing the night’s fun and casual theme. From baseball to football, basketball to hockey, the room was filled with team spirit, and the most spirited outfits even earned special prizes!

This years BOB Awards Party wasn’t just about the awards—it was a place for business leaders to connect, network, and celebrate success in a laid-back, festive atmosphere.

Capturing the Moment in Style
This year, we took our photo booth experience to the next level with a green screen background, allowing guests to be transported into their favorite sports settings! Hockey fans posed in front of a lifelike ice rink, showcasing their love for the game while wearing their favorite jerseys. Football lovers struck a pose in a massive stadium, making it look like they were standing on the field before a big game. Guests were blown away by the effect, calling it an incredible and immersive experience that added to the night’s excitement. We then printed the photos for the guests to take home.
