We are excited to be part of this event and we have produced a film for the event evening that contains some of the breathtaking images of the region together with interviews with some of last year’s Gold winners including Nathan Outlaw who runs the self-titled 2 Michelin starred Restaurant Nathan Outlaw.
Nathan Outlaw – “At one point we were the only two Michelin Starred restaurant in the world which was a great accolade for us, but also last year we won the Taste of the South West Award which is fantastic for the business.”
The awards will be presented at a black-tie dinner in Exeter Cathedral on 4th February, representing the ‘grande finale of the 10-month regional awards programme. They are also the official scheme for the South West, with most finalists nominated for the national VisitEngland awards later in 2016. Last year’s winners included Sculpture by the Lake, Dorset; Porthcurno Telegraph Museum, Cornwall and Stuart Line Cruises, Devon.
Entrants underwent a rigorous short-listing process with visits carried out by a team of 42 judges and mystery shoppers. All entrants have received feedback on their entry, giving them the best opportunity both to make improvements to their business and hone their entry in future years.
We also sponsored the South West Tourism conference this year, it was an amazing event where we got to talk about the power of online video and meet a lot of fantastic businesses many of whom we have produced video content over the summer.
