Sarah Rowland has been shortlisted for CEO of the Year at the Sussex Business Awards 2026.
The shortlisting recognises Sarah among the business leaders in the running for the award, which celebrates senior figures who demonstrate strong leadership, inspire confidence and set a clear direction for their organisations.
The winner will be announced on Thursday 3 December 2026 at The Grand Brighton, where businesses, finalists and supporters from across the county will gather for the annual awards ceremony.
The Sussex Business Awards recognise achievements across a range of sectors, celebrating the businesses and individuals contributing to the county’s economy and business community.
For Bennett Oakley, Sarah’s shortlisting is an opportunity to celebrate her leadership of the firm and the contribution of its wider team.
As CEO, Sarah leads the firm with a focus on its people, its clients and its future. Her shortlisting recognises the role leadership plays in creating a supportive workplace and delivering a personal service to clients.
The firm’s approach is reflected in its tagline, “Rooted in Trust. Focused on You.”, which places relationships and client service at the centre of its work.
Sarah’s recognition follows further awards success for Bennett Oakley this year. The firm was highly commended in the Winning Workplace category at the BH Biz Awards and has been shortlisted for two Modern Law Conveyancing Awards: Conveyancing Firm of the Year, South of England, and Residential Property Team of the Year.
The Bennett Oakley team will now look forward to joining fellow finalists at the Sussex Business Awards ceremony in December.
