The winner will demonstrate that it has succeeded in, or helped others to deliver, measurable improvements on their responsible approach to business through working with local resources and suppliers; investing in local communities and promoting environmental strategies. Judges will seek evidence of collaborative working and commitment to change in the way they operate, and or provide goods and services, and or engage with their communities. Each award is judged by a panel of experts from the Hampshire business community, all of whom have significant experience of what it takes to run a successful company in the county. The Hampshire Business Awards gala dinner is a highlight of the county's business calendar.
