Friday 18th August, 2023

The excitement is building as the Sedgemoor Business Excellence Awards 2023 launches its nomination process, inviting businesses, enterprises, and individuals to highlight their exceptional contributions to Sedgemoor’s growth and prosperity. Organised by the Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce, the awards celebrate and honour the achievements of Sedgemoor’s dynamic business community.

This year’s awards feature an impressive array of categories, including three new additions that mirror the growing business landscape in Sedgemoor:

Food & Drink Business: A novel category for 2023, this award recognizes businesses that play a vital role in producing outstanding food and drink within the Sedgemoor district. From culinary innovation to farm-to-table excellence, this award celebrates the gastronomic creativity that thrives within the local community.

Business Person of the Year: Another fresh addition for 2023, the Business Person of the Year Award provides a unique platform to acknowledge and celebrate visionary leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs who have left a significant imprint on Sedgemoor’s business scene.

Best Use of Marketing Award: In the era of inventive marketing strategies, this new award applauds companies that have demonstrated excellence in utilising creative and impactful marketing campaigns to promote their businesses and captivate their audiences.

Diogo Rodrigues, Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce Manager, emphasised the significance of these awards. “Nominating your business for a Sedgemoor Business Excellence Award is more than just recognition—it’s a statement of your commitment to excellence. It’s about showcasing the remarkable progress you’ve made and the impact you’ve had. These awards are a celebration of your journey and a testament to the vibrant spirit of Sedgemoor’s business community.”

The awards ceremony is scheduled for Friday 24th November, and Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce extends its gratitude to all sponsors for their unwavering support.
