We’re asking merchants of all types to tell us about their greatest successes; the initiatives they’ve introduced in the past 12 months that have helped them grow and improve their businesses.
Just as in previous years, the 2013 Awards for Excellence will highlight this innovation, celebrating those people who have found new and resourceful ways to grow and develop their businesses despite a difficult market.
Whether your company is large or small, and no matter where its particular strength lies, one of the 16 Awards categories will enable you to shout about your achievements, strengthening your company’s standing in the industry and celebrating the hard work of your employees.
All nominations will be considered by an independent panel of expert industry judges, with the winners announced in front of hundreds of merchant industry colleagues at the Awards ceremony in London’s Lancaster Hotel on 22 November, 2013.
So, put the date in your diary today, and start thinking about how you can nominate your colleagues, your most successful branch, or an inspirational new project, to show the rest of the industry why you are the best at what you do!
You can submit nominations on behalf of your own business or, alternatively, talk to your customers and suppliers. Find out what they’ve found most impressive about your business in the past year, and encourage them to nominate on your behalf.
Nominations will close on 6 September, 2013. You can find all the information you need to submit a successful nomination online through this website, or by filling in the forms contained in our Launch Brochure.
Good luck this year!
