You must have won or been shortlisted for at least one other recognised business award over the last twelve months to be eligible to apply. There are no categories, every entry should follow the same procedure. Individual entries are judged entirely on their merit rather than against other entrants. All winners are recognised for 'outstanding achievement'. This is a quarterly awards programme with a deadline of the last working day of March, June, September and December.

Your application should focus on your organisation's particular strengths and what sets you apart from your competitors or other organisations generally. There is no upper or lower limit on the number of winners. Each entry is scored by a team of five judges and entries which meet or exceed a minimum average score win a Best of the Best Business Award.

Your application will be judged against the following specific criteria and must demonstrate an outstanding level of:

Quality (25%)
Innovation (25%)
Customer Service (25%)
Success (25%)

All applications must specifically address each of the above four criteria.

You can call us on 01444 242792 for an informal chat about your planned application if you wish and we will give you honest feedback on your chances of winning.
