At our recent breakfast a panel of experts shared their experiences of the Business Awards and their top tips. They all agreed the application process alone makes you look at your business, your performance and involves all your staff. David Carter of ETI said “one of the proudest moments was when one of our employee’s won the young achiever award. The effect this had on the team was immeasurable”. Steve Hobbs of Warnes Project commented “it changed everybody in the company after looking at testimonials from clients and looking back on work achieved. They were all re-energised” Karen Simporis of Henry House agreed the enthusiasm you have for your business is pushed forwards by involving your customers. Phil Duckett from Southern Pavilion said “winning is like eating 5 of your favourite sweets all at the same time!” Use the nomination process to shout about your business and your achievements. Winner or not you should be there to celebrate the night.

Go ahead and do it. Good luck!
