Last month saw the fourth annual WeyPort (Weymouth & Portland) Business Awards, launched and run by MarketingWest Events.
The overall winner was Les Enfants Terrible, located on the quayside in Weymouth. Last year the seafood restaurant was named Restaurant of the Year at the 2022 awards – and previously overall Business of the Year in 2021.
There were 13 businesses and individuals winning awards at this year’s lunchtime ceremony, held at Weymouth College. Framed certificates were presented by Weymouth Mayor Cllr Ann Weaving and Cllr Pete Roper, Mayor of Portland.
This year saw a record number of entries and nominations for the WeyPort Business Awards. More than 450 were received since the awards were launched in October last year.
Nigel Reeve, of the organisers, MW Events, said:
“Entries and nominations were coming in daily. We expected around 250 but we underestimated the interest. It seems a number of members of the business community promoted the awards to all their contacts and those contacts spread the word even further. It created its own momentum. I’d like to thank all involved for such a great effort. It just shows what can be achieved.”
Almost 50 Weymouth and Portland-based business owners and managers joined in the celebrations at the awards ceremony.
Headline sponsor for the awards is ActionCOACH.
