Every year Prestige Purchasing present an award to a nominated supplier who they feel have excelled, not just met, but exceeded expectation and gone beyond the call of duty. The coveted Supplier of the year Award - (large inscribed shield, personal engraved trophy, £200 and bottle of champagne), is presented to the account manager who 'goes that extra mile'. Although we set the initial qualifying criteria - retention of existing business, new business gained, sales growth and proactivity, the most important element is by far Member Feedback.
This is your opportunity to have your say and vote for the Supplier you think should receive this prestigious award and why.
Please take the time to complete the attached questionnaire and email to Alena Ayers or fax to 01908 220286 by 31st December 2009. Your opinions are very important to us!! Click to view questionnaire. |
