Sponsored by Tower Park-based Breeze Volkswagen, the launch will highlight the achievements of previous Dorset Business Award winners and reveal the Award categories for 2015. Invited guests will have the opportunity to network with other business professionals, listen to guest speakers and hear more about this year’s categories. Organised by Dorset Chamber of Commerce & Industry since 2006, and backed by the south’s leading radio station Wave 105, the Awards ceremony has become so popular the 2015 Gala Dinner has been moved to the Windsor Hall in the Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) to accommodate all the sponsors, finalists and guests.
Ian Girling, chief executive of Dorset Chamber of Commerce & Industry, says: “As the Dorset Business Awards comes of age, we anticipate an exciting year for businesses across Dorset entering the Awards programme to achieve not just local but national recognition for their achievements. The Awards provide the ideal platform to share your successes – winning one of these sought-after accolades sends out a clear message to the business community that your company is remarkable and is continuing to thrive.”
