Excellence in business is a superb achievement worth celebrating and sharing with industry peers. Sharing a successful experience inspires others and the industry wide recognition offered by these Excellence Awards brings multiple rewards. A win will encourage customers, inspire and retain resourceful staff and offer you the opportunity to show others in the industry that reliable business logic, together with hard work and perseverance can win through.
We are building on the success of our inaugural joint awards scheme last year with the Excellence Awards 08. The 2008 celebration will be take place at the London Hilton, Park Lane, on Monday, June 30 2008. Please put the date in your diary and start thinking about what your company has achieved and been working towards over the last 12 months.
You don’t have to be a BPIF member or a Printing World subscriber to enter, so that’s two fewer excuses to keep you from a chance of celebrating your excellence on June 30.
During my work as editor of Printing World and PrintBuyer I see truly marvellous examples of all kinds of print; I also get to know the stories from the businesses behind these products. The sheer hard work, talent and persistence seen in this sector is inspiring. I would encourage you to enter these Excellence Awards; they give companies a chance to measure performance against peers and competitors and show your commitment to the sector. It is also a gives you a good opportunity to step back and reassess what you have achieved over the last 12 months. I hope to see you next June.
