Verwood is to have its own local business awards following expansion by Marketing West.
The Verwood Business Awards will have a launch event at the Verwood Hub on January 8th 2025, followed by an awards later in the year.
They will be sister awards to other local ones run by the same company, including the Ringwood Business Awards, Ferndown Business Awards, and Wimborne Business Awards.
There are 12 categories which are free to enter, which can either be by nomination or entering your own business.
Owner Nigel Reeves said: “Participating in the Verwood Business Awards nomination process is a straightforward yet significant step towards recognising business excellence and innovation in the area.
“Whether you are a business owner or a local resident, anyone can recommend a business.
“They are judged by a group of independent judges. The process is entirely online and the judges do not know who the other judges are. They receive a brief and a copy of the entries and recommendations plus a voting spreadsheet.
“They vote in each category for their first choice, second and so on. They return the spreadsheet which is fed into the master sheet which tells us who are the winners.”
