Congratulations to all of the finalists in this year’s Dorset Business Awards.
The Dorset Chamber has just revealed the shortlists for each category in this year’s 25th anniversary extravaganza.
We’re proud to be sponsor of the Excellence in Engineering & Manufacturing Award along with Atlas Elektronik UK.
Well done to the finalists in ‘our’ category: Actisense, Field International Ltd and Precision Acoustics.
The standard once again was exceptional and we’re looking forward to revealing the name of the winner on the awards night, November 28.
As we celebrate our centenary this year, we know just how important manufacturing and engineering excellence has been to the success of our business.
Manufacturing and engineering are bedrocks of the local and national economy, and it is vital that this sector receives the recognition and support it deserves.
The Dorset Business Awards are a perfect way of doing this, and shining a spotlight on some of the many exceptional firms we have in the county.
We’ve sponsored the prestigious awards for three consecutive years.
We’re a previous winner of the Exporter of the Year, and have also won four Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in International Trade, so we know what a great boost awards success can bring.
A total of 36 firms are finalists in 12 categories at the awards.
