We are now much more focused in our efforts in recognising staff performance, hence the eg awards being the only ones we have entered for a year or two. The cynic in me does think that awards are given based on cash spend or new customers etc!! However, here's being optimistic for this year!! Just give us a winners lump of perspex and I promise I will shut up!!! Rachel,

Far better to have a smaller number of awards which carry more weight and credibility. It is also important that feedback be given in all cases - how can one expect to progress in any walk of life without supportive comment??? Speaking personally I think that The Sentinel Business Awards carry a significant amount of credibility because of the process that is undertaken to be successful and the judging criteria. Good luck with your award ceremony and well done on providing feedback 'come what may' Rachel – I agree with you there do seem to be far too many awards and awards ceremonies, many of which serve little purpose other than self promotion/ gratification for the organiser/ sponsor.
