Hounslow Chamber of Commerce has given businesses some handy tips on how to produce an award-winning entry: • Give yourself enough time. A judge knows immediately who spent time preparing a thoughtful award submission and who didn’t! • Stay on point. Make sure your answer addresses the question directly and stay on topic. • Don’t skip questions. Sounds obvious, right? You’d be surprised how many people skip questions! Every question left unanswered results in a judge marking down your application.
Business Awards presentation, 8th July
The Gala Dinner, where we will announce the winners, is being held on 25th November at Clayton Hotel Chiswick. Please be assured that we will be adhering to Government guidelines to ensure we are all safe.
• Stick to the word count. Be concise – you have a limited space to grab the attention of the judges!
If you are interested in sponsoring the Business Awards in any way, please contact
• Quantify results. Give facts and figures. Winning entries always show proof of the claims they’re making.
