As well as the chance for businesses to enter, people can nominate a business they love most, with the deadline being 9 March.

Businesses are being invited to enter the Wimborne Business Awards before the deadline of 9 March.
Organised by Marketing West and supported by Wimborne BID, the awards are free to enter.

With categories covering retail, hospitality, services, innovation, customer care, young entrepreneurs, eco-friendly initiatives and more, there’s an opportunity for organisations across every sector to gain well-deserved recognition.

BID Chairperson Fiona Pawsey said: “Wimborne BID is delighted to support Wimborne Business Awards to celebrate business excellence in our wonderful town. They’re a celebration of the town’s entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and community values.”

Local businesses are encouraged to submit their own entries, and employees can nominate their place of work too. Whether you’ve grown your team, introduced new ideas, expanded your offer, or consistently gone above and beyond for your customers, this is your chance to showcase your success and raise your profile.

Winners will be announced at an awards event at Merley House on Thursday 9 April.

Nigel Reeve from Marketing West said: “We’re delighted to be running the business awards in Wimborne again this year. It takes just a few minutes to submit a nomination, but the impact can be long-lasting. Vibrant, profitable businesses make a town vibrant too.”
