Interest in the Axminster Business Awards continues to grow with entries coming in daily. This is expected to continue until entries close on 15th October.

The same trend is reflected in the awards website viewings. Viewings to the website are expected to peak with the November awards ceremony being shown live on the website.

Sponsors are now being sort for the various category sponsorships with close to half already placed.

The awards time and date is lunchtime on Tuesday, November 23 and details will be released in September.

Nigel Reeve, of the awards organisers, Marketing West Events, said: "The ethos of the awards is to be simple and free to enter, while the awards ceremony will focus on regeneration and the promotion of local business.

"The plan is to make the awards an annual event with a range of category winners across a range of local businesses. Working with Totally Locally Axminster, who have their own Regeneration Award, has been an absolute pleasure."
