West Dorset Gold Business Awards Judges
A panel of independent judges assesses the winning entries and nominations in the Weymouth, Dorchester and Bridport awards to give us our West Dorset Gold Awards winners. 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.
