Thursday 28th November Bournemouth International Centre

Welcome

We’re excited to announce that the 25th Dorset Business Awards is set to return on

Thursday 28th November at the Bournemouth International Centre. The award’s are

firmly established as the leading business celebration on the south coast and they are

extremely important to the business community. They enable us to showcase Dorset as

the place of innovation, entrepreneurship and community and help us to drive

investment in the area from those outside our county borders.

It is a reminder of our successes and talent and honours the incredible business and

people who are a source of inspiration to us all. For winners and finalists it means a

great deal, and has the potential to positively transform their business.

As a Dorset based business, you are an integral part of the business community, one

which is dynamic and diverse. The awards are a powerful opportunity for you to build

your brand and network with a vast array of key business leaders and achievers during

a five month campaign across the region. In this brochure we’ve outlined the range of

sponsorship and advertising opportunities available. However, I’d also be delighted to

discuss your interest personally so we can better understand your goals. On behalf of

the entire team, we hope you choose to be a part of the awards and get behind the

Dorset business community for the betterment of all.

Yours sincerely,

Stuart Dixon

Head of Marketing & Communications,

Dorset Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
