JCI Dublin Southside is delighted to announce the launch of its annual Friendly Business Awards.
Every village or town has a business that goes that extra mile in providing a quality service or product to meet local needs and we would like to hear about them!
The JCI Friendly Business Awards aim to recognise the pivotal role local businesses play in the community.
So do you know a business that offers seamless disability access? Or another that offers such excellent customer care you never want to leave? Let us know about it and nominate your business on our website www.friendlybusinessawards.ie to be in to win a prize and national exposure.
"What is a friendly business?", we hear you cry! Well, we say, it is one that excels in one (or all!) of the following categories:-
-
Community Impact
-
Shop Layout and Design
-
Customer care
-
Digital Experience
-
Social Friendliness
-
Eco Friendliness.
It is possible for one business to win in all six categories. Although this has never happened before we are aware the day will inevitably come at some point.
The winners of each category will be awarded a prize at the JCI Southside Friendly Business Awards ceremony later this year. There will also be a prize for the overall winner.
In addition, the winners will be put forward for the national JCI Ireland competition, providing nationwide exposure and media coverage to their businesses. They will also be invited to attend an awards ceremony at our national convention in Galway with over 100 attendees and an inspirational guest speaker.
The closing date for nominations is 30th June 2016. More information about the project can be found at: www.friendlybusinessawards.ie
