We are extremely proud to announce that we have been selected as one of four finalists in the 'Health Provider of the Year' category at the Exmouth Chamber of Commerce Business Awards 2016!

The annual Business Awards Ceremony is a highlight of the Exmouth business and social calendar. There are categories in all the significant business sectors in the town and a special award to recognise an individual or Business who has contributed to the Business community in Exmouth in an outstanding way

More than 80 local companies were nominated in 12 categories – the highest number of nominations in the four years that the awards, in association with the Exmouth Journal, have been running.

Organisers said that the standard of entries this year was higher than ever and that it was an ‘incredibly hard decision for the judges’ with ‘much argument and debate to create the shortlists’.

The shortlist is an intriguing blend of some of the town’s most established and best-known companies, along with new, up-and-coming businesses that are clearly making their mark.

“We have had the highest number of nominated companies in the four years that the awards have been running, with more than 80 companies nominated,” said Ian MacQueen, chairman of the Exmouth Chamber of Commerce, which organises the event.
“As a result, the judging process has been incredibly hard with much debate and discussion to arrive at a shortlist.
“Some fantastic businesses had to be put to one side and which in previous years would have made the shortlist as serious contenders.”

Mr MacQueen says that the event is growing in importance, year after year.

“There is no doubt that the Exmouth Business Awards have gained enormous traction over the past four years and seem to be now written into the DNA of the Exmouth business community with a momentum of their own”

The judging panel recognised our continued commitment to delivering outstanding care in the community, providing regular opportunities for our Customers to give face to face feedback and our transparent and honest approach we take when communicating with both Staff and Customers.
