A massive well done to all those who got to take home a trophy over the weekend. Any result like this is recognition of the hard work and effort for a person or company over the year, and is always a proud moment.
They also prove useful for companies in winning new future business. I have had experience of this with the NFAs where previous winners have told me that in their dealings with future prospects, the fact they have won awards have either swayed new business in their favour, or put them on the radar in the first place.
No doubt there will have been a few sore heads on Saturday morning, and even a few quiet Sundays too. As we head towards the Christmas period, this will have been a nice end to the year for the lucky few.
Plenty of time in #NFA17
As you read this there are still 10 days left in which to place your votes in the 2017 National Fenestration Awards campaign. This is bags of time in which to take part.
We have made it easier to take part this year, by dropping the requirement to be logged into the site in order to cast your vote. Instead, all pages are open to everyone, whether logged in or not. To cast your vote, each category page has a form that takes less than a minute to fill in. Fill that in, press submit, then you’re done.
With over 2300 votes cast so far, we’re seeing record participation numbers, before the expected end-of-campaign rush towards the last few days which always sees a huge downpour of votes just before the campaign closes. Still, if you have a spare minute, head over over to the NFA website now and cast your vote:Â http://www.fenestrationawards.co.uk/
Head over to the NFA website and you’ll find out more information on the dates, as well as take part in the last monthly Cool Wall competition, find out more about the Wall of Winners competition starting December 1st…and we have an extra surprise to announce once the voting is complete ;-)
A massive congratulations to all the G Award winners for this year, job well done!
