Business Awards

• Best Logistics Company
  For all those who think logistics is all about long distance lorry drivers, bacon sarnies and bonded warehouses who won’t take your stock because it hasn’t got the correct AAD, think again! Judges will be looking for excellence in service for customers (trade or consumer). This may include direct mail, internet or traditional on-trade and off-trade premises; recognising reliability, flexibility, competitiveness and the ability to meet customers’ needs effectively.
  
• Retail Award
  The winner of this award will have no equal and will define excellence in drinks retailing in 2007. You will have achieved significant sales growth in the UK or overseas and will have an impressive display of value and range for your customers.
  
• Independent Retailer of the Year
  This award recognises the best of those brave few who have gone it alone! Judges will be looking for tangible evidence of impeccable personal service and in-store innovation. The winner may represent one store or be part of a group.
  
• Responsible Drinking Message
  Recognising one of the most exigent issues currently facing the industry, the drinks business acknowledges a company or individual that has led the way with a responsible drinking message. While this may be part of a campaign, it may also be an intrinsic part of a brand/company’s on-going commitment and continued activity, either within the field of packaging, labelling, advertising or NPD.
  
• Drinks Company of the Year
  This is the big one, coveted by one and all. Under scrutiny: your business development and diversification, sales/profit growth, employee management, new product development, market penetration, brand development and corporate responsibility… line up brand owners, agents and producers, it could be you!
