West Dorset Leisure Holidays won top honours at this year’s Bridport Business Awards.

The owner of five family-managed holiday parks in Dorset was declared Overall Business of the Year.

It also collected the award for Green/Eco Business of the Year.

In total, 14 awards were presented at the annual awards, staged by MW Events.

Held before a capacity audience of 60 people at Highlands End Holiday Park, overlooking the Jurassic Coast in Bridport, they were also live-streamed.

Nigel Reeve, Organiser, said: “The awards continue to increase in popularity.

“This is the third year of these awards and entries grow year on year.

“However, within this, there are interesting trends.

“Three years ago interest in the Green/Eco category was low.

“Now it’s a category with one of the highest number of entries.

“We have to acknowledge the huge support we have received from local businesses, the Bridport Chamber and the Bridport Town Council.

“This support has ensured these awards have become a major event in the local business calendar.”
