How do the business awards work?

WALK-THROUGH

Entrants complete an entry providing a description of their business, its goals and growth. All entries within a category are assessed by two different judges, these assessments are peer reviewed and finalists are selected.

The finalists are further assessed by another two judges, including undergoing a telephone interview (and/or a site visit, which may be a mystery shop) with their responses to nominated questions being assessed. All ratings are then used to determine the category winners, with all category winners being reviewed to determine the Business of the Year.
