With a 15% increase in nominations, getting this far is an incredible achievement,” “Of course, I always say that simply getting nominated is something to be very proud of because someone has recognised the value that you or the team is bringing day-in, day-out.” “The judges have been really impressed by the storytelling and detail that they’ve seen so far.

Of course, this just makes their job harder. I think it’s fair to say that the competition is on. The judges can’t wait to hear more.”

Jackie Pringle, Director of Awards, commented, “Now the hard work starts!

The judges will interview all those finalists in the Individual categories and hear presentations from those in the Team and Organisation categories,” “And with the uplift in the quality of this year’s nominations – it won’t be easy. Our judges will be visiting finalists in the Best Contact Centre Culture category – this is a chance to meet them in person and get a real feel for the contact centre.”

One of the Head Judges, Sarah Williams, Chief Customer Experience Officer at Westminster City Council said: “For those that haven’t made it as finalists, please feel proud for being nominated. The competition was stronger than ever and unfortunately not everyone can progress.

This next phase in the process is exciting, and critical to finding the best in the UK. This is your chance to show the judges what you have achieved. On behalf of all the judges, we wish every Finalist the best of luck.”

The winners will be announced at the Awards Night on Monday 17 June at the stunning Old Billingsgate.
