East Dorset Gold Business Awards Judges
​
A panel of independent judges assesses the winning entries in each category from the individual awards above The process is done online, and the judges cast their votes on a spreadsheet that is then entered onto the master spreadsheet, giving us our winners.
Their independence from each other means the votes are a true reflection of their views with no outside influence.
