We therefore ensure that when our experts draft your nomination it is comprehensive, factual and evidence-based. Using our Queen's honours service does not guarantee your nominee an honour, but the depth of research undertaken in putting your nomination together helps the honours committees formulate their decision based upon a thorough, accurate and relevant presentation of the nominee's merits and achievements.

OUR CLIENTS' THOUGHTS
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.
