Awards Nomination & Entry
The entries and nominations are now CLOSED for the 2024 awards and OPEN for the 2025 awards late this year.
They are free and easy to enter either your own business or where you work and anyone can nominate all the businesses that the feel are worthy of an award to recognise and reward great products, excellent service and and their impressive offering to the Dorchester community.
​
Why Enter? People are drawn to, and trust, 'award-winning' businesses and winning or being shortlisted not only boosts your team spirits but re-affirms to existing customers that you are a great company to do business with. It can lead to new customers, raised business profile and increased revenue.
