Our business award clients have shared the following benefits resulting from their award wins:

  • Increased profile and reputation – nationally and internationally, across the industry and with customers

  • Attracted new investment – raised business profile, leading to new opportunities and partnerships

Our Fees 

OUR FEE FOR DRAFTING A SINGLE AWARD ENTRY STARTS FROM £1,900 + VAT.

This fee covers the services of a dedicated consultant, an award briefing meeting so that your consultant can gather all the information needed to craft your entry, and the drafting of the professionally written, designed and proofread award entry.

Our flagship awards are suited to any industry or sector and will really showcase your business to bring unrivalled recognition.

 

These prestigious awards have particularly long and detailed entry processes, and typically have a longer word count, and additional design and formatting requirements. Some awards have a flat fee, and some are priced per category.

All submissions curated by our team are passed through a third-party proofreader, and undergo professional design in your own branding, where permissible.

We are always happy to take on administrative management of your award submission, such as liaison with the awards body, and can even submit on your behalf.
