The benefits of entering The Dorset Business Awards extend far beyond picking up one of the prestigious trophies in November:

The positive publicity and recognition gained across the County and beyond.

The visibility of the achievements of finalists and winners is greatly enhanced before a wide audience of customers and potential customers, suppliers, partners and the business community generally.

Reaching the finalist stage is a commendable achievement as the entries having been subject to a rigorous judging process.

Acknowledge the contribution and achievements of your staff and boost moral.

Finalists and Winners become strongly aligned and associated with the key principles of the Awards – business success, innovation and ethical practice.

PR Opportunities: winners and finalists will be provided with a “kite mark” which they can use on their letterhead and literature.

Finalist companies will receive extensive profile at the gala dinner.
