Exmouth Chamber of Commerce has announced a list of the businesses which have made the finals of their annual business awards

The shortlist of businesses nominated for this year’s Exmouth Business Awards has been published.

Organiser Exmouth Chamber of Commerce says it has received a ‘record-breaking’ number of entries this year.

There were 68 business entries across 12 categories and 935 public nominations.

The awards will take place at Woodbury Park on Friday, May 17.

Chamber of commerce chairman Ian MacQueen said: “Another year with record entries for the 2019 Exmouth Chamber of Commerce/Journal Business Awards.

“In addition, there were almost 1,000 public nominations for businesses in Exmouth.

“It is not only the business community but the public who seem to have taken the Business Awards to heart in what will be their seventh year of celebration.

“Entries were strong in all thirteen categories and the judges had great difficulty in making their final choice.

“That said, choices were made and the Awards Ceremony on May 17 at Woodbury Golf and Country Club promises to be an even more successful and glittering occasion than ever.

“Good luck to all Nominees and don’t forget; ‘You’re all winners’.”
