New Business of the Year Award 2010
We define a new business as having been started after August 1, 2009.
So which new business has most caught the imagination of the town?
It may be through its product, marketing or the personality of its promoter.
Over to you.
MicroBusiness of the Year Award 2010 (one to five employees) – Sponsored by Worthing Borough Council
Whether home, office or workshop based, this is a showcase for those businesses with one to five employees.
We want to receive nominations for dynamic and innovative businesses with customer service par excellence and that little something extra which mark them out in the thriving ultra-small sector.
Small Business of the Year Award 2010 (up to 20 employees) – Sponsored by Bennett Griffen
Moving up a notch in size brings us to the Small Business Award.

Business Marketing and Promotion Award 2010

So which Worthing business has done the best marketing job over the past year? You tell us.
Business in the Community Award 2010

Tourism and Leisure Award 2010
The town continues to enjoy the reputation of being a great holiday destination. But which business does the best job
in projecting all that's good about the town?
It might be a hotel, an attraction or an event.
Whichever it is, it will have impressed the judges as well as helping Worthing stand out from the crowd.
Green Business of the Year Award 2010 – sponsored by Reflections Nurseries
Carbon footprints, ozone depletion, energy efficiency, recycling and sustainable transport.
The winner of this category will have had a mind to all of these and will be an example to the rest of us (and hopefully one we want to follow!). If you know that business, nominate it.
Charity or Not For Profit Organisation of the Year Award 2010 – sponsored by Saywell International
Charities and not-for-profit organisations often depend on the generosity of businesses and individuals to get the money they need to carry out their charitable or organisational aims.
This year is as difficult as it's been for a while, so big or small, the winner of this category will have impressed the judges with their approach to achieving what they set out to do – be it educational, charitable or cultural.
Manufacturer of the Year Award 2010 – sponsored by Carpenter Box
Worthing continues to amaze.
There are so many companies based around the area who make things – and, in some cases, make world-class things.
This category produced the overall winner in the last awards and was so closely fought the judges almost came to blows.
So we're looking forward to seeing what manufacturing gems are nominated this year.
The Worthing Lifetime Achievement in Business Award
The winner of this award will have made a major contribution to their business and to the business reputation of the town over more years than they would probably care to remember.
This is your chance to recognise and acclaim that special someone by nominating them.
Worthing Business Person of the Year 2010 – sponsored by Spofforths
Ego, personality, humour, business savvy, commitment and a fair smattering of humanity? You decide.
In this category we're looking for Worthing's Business Person of the Year 2010. This winner will surely stand out from the crowd.
