WHY SHOULD YOU APPOINT AWARDS INTELLIGENCE?

An Awards Intelligence nomination is special. Not only will we save you a great deal of time and hassle, our experts will significantly increase the nominee's chances of success.

Honours Selection Committees judge a candidate's merits based on the nomination put forward. Our nominations are not simply an extended CV, a list of educational achievements, appointments, awards or posts, or a job description. Poor nominations often list these things, and a frequent complaint from the Committees judging the nominations is that the person recommended is "doing no more than their paid job".

Instead, our nominations define what is special about the candidates' achievements and show accurately, memorably and persuasively exactly how and where they have made a difference.

If you want to give someone the best possible chance of receiving recognition for their hard work and achievements, complete the form or contact us today on +44 (0)1444 230130 for a free assessment of their chances of success.

“We were in the rare situation that our innovation had been started by the first company and then developed and commercialised by the second one, making the application process far from straightforward. Undoubtably, we would not have succeeded without the expert support from Lesley and the team at Awards Intelligence and we would recommend their services wholeheartedly. We now have two awards for Innovation!”

Absolutely delightful and amazing success of our nomination for the award of Dame to our candidate. Without doubt, this is absolutely down to the dedication and professionalism of the application led by Edward and the team at Awards Intelligence. Edward has the wonderful ability of bringing to life a creative and compelling story, together with in-depth empirical research to add to the richness of the application. He has huge amounts of patience, diligence and buckets of kindness.

I'd like to say on behalf of myself and Forces Support that we are delighted with the service provided, you have been exceptional throughout. As we were going through a growth spurt you continued to update the paperwork and right up to the last minute when about 11pm the night before you added in some late developments i sent across.

I've had many bad experiences in the Third sector and only a few good ones, working with you has been the best to date, and not because we won an award as I've always had it in mind to email in and let you know how much I appreciated your attitude and laid back approach to my constant pestering.

I have already recommended AI and will continue to do so, the service was superb.

SIMON BURGESS

Insurance entrepreneur

Awards Intelligence helped us win eight awards making us the most award winning company in our insurance niche. When we sold the business this had a very positive impact on the attractiveness of the business to potential buyers and I estimate that the wins added around £500,000 to the overall value of the business.

With only two weeks to go before the deadline, we approached Awards Intelligence specifically to help us win a Queen’s Award for Enterprise and with their expert help we achieved our goal.

The quality of the service was fast, efficient and professional. I would wholeheartedly recommend Awards Intelligence.
