Business Awards Solutions & Interactive Awards List

Winning awards will raise your profile, enhance your reputation, attract new business and ultimately make you more profitable.

The most valuable piece of advice we can give you is that you have to be in it to win it. So it stands to reason that the more business awards you enter the greater your chances of success. In our experience multi-award winning organisations are entering upwards of 15 awards a year.

It's also a common myth that you have to be the best to win an award. The reality is that you have to be the best organisation that entered that particular award category to win. A big difference that automatically increases your chances!

Awards Intelligence takes the hassle out of the business awards entry process for you and increases your chances of winning. Our experts help businesses of any size, public sector organisations and individuals to find, enter and win awards and our expert consultants can draft your entry from start to finish.

IF YOU JOIN OUR OUR SPECIAL VIP AWARDS MANAGEMENT SERVICE WE GUARANTEE TO WIN AT LEAST TWO AWARDS FOR YOU WITHIN A YEAR OR WE WILL RETURN ALL YOUR FEES.*

We can offer you this unique, no risk guarantee because we have proved with existing clients that we will achieve a minimum of two wins and often more. We are not aware of any other awards support provider willing to make this commitment to you.

Our UNIQUE, PEACE OF MIND GUARANTEE applies to organisations of any size operating in any sector. To find out more and join please click here now: Awards Management Service.

Whether you want to enter a major national or international business award such as the Best Business Awards, National Business Awards, Global Business Excellence Awards or a Queen's Award, a local award or a specialist private or public sector award, we can manage the whole process and increase your chances of winning by 55% according to independent research.**

We have also built the UK's largest awards list, featuring over 1000 business awards, to help you to quickly and easily find the right awards to enter. Or we can do the leg work for you and recommend the awards and categories you have the best chance of winning based on your strengths.

Simon Burgess, Managing Director, British Insurance sums up the benefits of our Awards Management Service:

“The Awards Management Service is without doubt one of the most powerful and cost-effective marketing solutions available. With their help we are currently the proud winners of eight business awards which have had a positive effect on our bottom-line. Whatever line of business you are in, regardless of sector, Awards Intelligence will ensure you win the awards you deserve.”

Emily Whyte, Marketing Manager, Fife Council is also delighted with our service:

“We are delighted to have won a Global Business Excellence Award and a Green Apple Award. Thanks very much for drafting our entries and for professionally managing the process.”

David Thomson, Chief Executive, Close Invoice Finance is in no doubt about the benefits of working with us:

“We have had a long and fruitful relationship with Awards Intelligence. Over the last 12 months alone they have helped us win five awards which has helped to raise the profile of the organisation and further enhance its reputation as the UK’s leading invoice finance solution. They offer an excellent service and I would recommend them to any organisation that takes winning awards seriously.”

We are proud to be the UK's leading provider of awards support services, news and information and firmly believe that we have got here by being the best at what we do.

Why bother entering business awards?

These facts and figures are a bit tedious but well worth a read:
  • Large award winning companies enjoyed a 48% increase in operating income and a 37% growth in sales when compared to non-award winners. Smaller award winning companies were also shown to have experienced a 63% increase in operating income, and a 39% growth in sales when compared to non-winners. Source: British Quality Foundation based on experience in the USA.

  • A study compared the financial performance of 120 award winning companies across Europe that met specific criteria against comparison companies of a similar size and operating in the same industries. The financial performance was tracked over 11 years. The study found that the award winning companies showed improvements in financial performance after just a year of winning their first award. Source: University of Leicester for the British Quality Foundation and the European Foundation for Quality Management.

  • Three years after receiving an award, the 120 award winning companies outperformed the comparison companies by an average of 17% for sales and 36% for share value. During the final year that performance was tracked, the award winning companies experienced even greater increases as compared to comparison companies with sales growing by an average of 77% more and operating income by 18% more. Source: As above.

So there is a strong rational for entering corporate recognition awards. It can raise your business profile, enhance your reputation, compliment your public relations and marketing activity, raise awareness of your range of business services, encourage excellence and help to make you more profitable.

Adam Goodyer, co-founder of Start-Up Stars winner Concert Live sees the benefits of being a winner:

“If you’re a young business without much marketing spend, then entering awards can be a cost-effective way of generating positive marketing and PR, because you’re thrown into the spotlight. It also offers a seal of approval. Potential customers can look at that and think ‘I’m happy to do business with this company because they have that recognition.”

Winning business awards is a tremendous achievement and a very powerful reputation building tool which can lead to a significant increase in new business. Until now, the process of identifying and entering relevant UK awards has proved too difficult and time consuming for many firms - deadlines are frequently missed, submissions are poorly written and in most cases, the opportunity is overlooked altogether as their has not been an easily accessible online database available. Awards Intelligence provides solutions to all these issues for you with our Awards Management Service and unique awards list.

David Ellis, director at Computerlinks, holder of the Channel Awards Security Distributor of the Year has no doubts about the value of winning awards:

“Experience has shown that an award gives massive credence to our business, particularly when talking to new customers and vendors that have not dealt directly with us in the past. With existing partners, it reinforces the fact they have made the right choice to work with us. If I equated the benefits of winning an award to other forms of channel marketing, we would probably have to spend tens of thousands of pounds to get similar levels of impact.”
