THE success, innovation and impact of local businesses will be celebrated in the third annual Lyme Regis Business Awards.
Businesses across Lyme Regis and the surrounding area are being invited to enter this year’s awards, with nominations and applications now officially open.
The awards’ ceremony will take place on Thursday 17 September at Lyme Regis Golf Club from 12pm to 2.30pm.
The awards are open to any business located within a four-mile radius of Lyme Regis, and organisers are encouraging both business owners and the public to get involved.
Businesses can enter themselves, while customers, clients, and supporters can nominate a local business they believe deserves recognition.
Following a successful launch in 2024, the awards have quickly established themselves as an important celebration of the town’s thriving business community.
With categories covering a wide range of sectors, nominations will not win an award purely based on the number of nominations or entries, but with what is said about each business, so remember to give lots of detail when making your nominations.
The categories are designed to shine a spotlight on the outstanding businesses that contribute so much to the local economy and community.
From independent retailers and hospitality venues to professional services and start-ups, the awards provide an opportunity to celebrate the people behind the businesses helping Lyme Regis to prosper.
Winning or being shortlisted can bring significant benefits, including increased visibility, enhanced credibility and valuable networking opportunities.
Previous winners have reported positive impacts on both sales and profitability, while many have gone on to achieve further regional and national recognition.
Organisers are encouraging businesses not to underestimate their achievements and to take the opportunity to showcase your successes. Equally, local residents are being urged to nominate businesses.
The awards ceremony will take place over lunch at Lyme Regis Golf Club, offering finalists, sponsors and guests the chance to come together and celebrate the very best of local business here in Lyme Regis.
