Absolutely Offices are used to working with businesses of all types and will be looking at a number of different factors for businesses both with an established turnover over £1million and for businesses that have only recently achieved the £1million milestone.

For new businesses to this category, judges will look at how businesses have made the transition from smaller operations and what processes and changes they have made to enable them to sustain their growth in the long-term.

For those existing larger businesses, it will be how they have managed to develop and sustain all aspects of their business in north Hampshire, successfully navigating the challenges, along with identifying what makes them a good all-round business and the different measures they have used to retain staff and customers as well as their future ambitions.
