Great to see so many winners in our Lyme Business Awards yesterday and a big thanks to all our sponsors including Lyme Regis Town Council Dorset Growth Hub and Actioncoach Dorset who all understand how important vibrant businesses are to ensuring our local towns are vibrant places people want to visit and live in.
The awards have highlighted some amazing independent businesses over the last 5 years and with SME's making up 99% of the UK's businesses their success and growth really is vital to local economies.

29/08/2025

So which of our are open now? Bournemouth, Bridport, Swanage, Sherborne, Ferndown, Shaftesbury, Dorchester and Wareham. Free and easy to enter via an online form and the format is that you enter your own business or where you work, and anyone can nominate local businesses that they love.
We have a category for every business large or small and you can enter in as many of those categories as you like but a top tip to be in with a chance of winning is tell us lots about the business so the judges are inspired and also don't use the same entry for every category you enter tailor them to fit. i.e. if you enter Family Business don't use that entry for Customer Service. Thanks you to all our kind sponsors in all the awards and Actioncoach Dorset our headline sponsor across all of them. www.marketingwest.co.uk
