Said Event Organiser, Nigel Reeve of Marketing West,” The standard of marking across the board was extremely high, with many of the entrants separated by just a couple of points. Having a joint winner for Business of the Year reflected this.
We’d like to congratulate all entrants on such a high standard of entries. It just shows the quality of businesses in the Bridport area.”
