THE BACKGROUND AND THE AWARDS

Marketing West is an events, promotions and marketing company, based close to

Sherborne, with thirty years experience organising awards events at the highest level.

Until the lockdown Marketing West ran regular working breakfasts around the

Sherborne area. The company first considered the Sherborne Business Awards back in 2018. More recently two of their business contacts suggested they consider the awards again.

Nigel Reeve of Marketing West fiercely believes it's time to get business moving again and start focusing on the positives. This time he felt the timing for the awards was right.

Local independent businesses were consulted and a range of categories drawn up. The awards ceremony will be a celebration of local business, not an excuse for a party.

The awards will be free to enter and simple to enter. The entry form will be available on-line and will take no more than ten minutes to complete.

The Sherborne Local Business Awards will be for local independent traders and businesses.
