At The Awards People we are often asked about awards relating to innovation. It is a category which arises across a whole range of award events (including the much-coveted Queens award which we spoke about in last week’s blog) but one which is, on occasion, not entirely understood. In the past we have covered the…
Most of our posts focus on what winning awards mean for those who actually enter themselves (or, indeed, are nominated by others). This week we thought it might be worthwhile looking at things from a client’s perspective – i.e. what difference does it make to your target market if you are award-winning or not? Now,…
This week we thought it might be nice to focus on a specific sector and what they have to gain in entering awards. At The Awards People we work with a number of charities and that seemed like a jolly good place to start. Of course, as we have said on many occasions in the…
Here at The Awards People we love awards – obviously! Regular readers will know that we believe that there are significant business advantages to be had in taking part in the awards process, not just the winning bit (although admittedly that’s often the part that’s most fun). There are a plethora of different awards events…
This week we thought we would have a short break from us peeps at The Awards People bestowing the virtues of award entry, and instead look back to some great advice we have received from an award-winning business we spoke with recently on the Sofa of Success.

This is a very subjective question and therefore has no standard answer. But that would make for a very short blog, so we will instead offer our advice on how to approach the sometimes-overwhelming choice of awards available out there. At The Awards People we always start with an Awards Plan, considering all regional, national…
In order to answer this question, we must first consider who the judges actually are. That’s not to say we need a list of actual names covering the entire page – after all, with thousands of awards in the space of a year and a number of people involved with each that could be a…
This week we thought it might be nice to hear from two clients who have tasted success and who have seen the benefits – both financially and in raising their profiles – in their own words. The first to share his story is Shahid Sheikh OBE, Managing Director of Clifton Packaging Group. No stranger to…
Up to now you may have been simply ‘getting on with business’ and making your company look like the one you dreamed of when you first had the idea to do your own thing. But with all the systems in place, clients being kept happy and the day to day stuff running smoothly (at least…
