We are delighted to share that Scott Bailey LLP has been awarded Financial and Professional Services Company of the Year at the Hampshire Business Awards 2025.
The awards ceremony was held on Wednesday 20 November at the Old Thorns Hotel and Resort in Liphook, where businesses from across the county came together to recognise excellence, innovation and positive contributions to the local community. Being selected as the winner among such a strong field of finalists was a proud moment for all of us.

This year, we were shortlisted in three categories, which in itself reflects the commitment and hard work of our teams across the firm. To receive these shortlistings, in addition to being named winner is an achievement we value highly, particularly given the strength of the Hampshire professional services sector.
The judging panel highlighted our client service, professionalism and the quality of our legal advice, noting our ability to deliver innovative and practical solutions for individuals, families and businesses across the region. Their feedback reinforces the standards we strive for every day.
Ben Ironmonger, Partner and Head of Corporate and Commercial, commented on the award:
“Winning this award is a significant achievement for our firm, and a proud moment for everyone at Scott Bailey LLP. Our teams work tirelessly to deliver clear, practical and commercially focused advice for individuals and businesses across Hampshire and the wider region. To receive recognition among such strong competition is a testament to the dedication, expertise and collaborative spirit of our people. We are grateful to our clients and colleagues for their ongoing trust, and we look forward to continuing to support the local community for many years to come.”
Having supported the New Forest and Hampshire for over 90 years, we remain committed to providing high quality legal advice rooted in personal service, strong relationships and a genuine understanding of the local area. Our teams in Lymington and Lyndhurst continue to grow, and this award is a welcome reflection of our ongoing investment in both our people and our clients.
