Why you should apply?
For Credit Managers, just going through the application process helps you to get the recognition from the Senior Management Team within your company and gives you an opportunity to share with them the great work that is being done by your team that often goes unnoticed at senior level. For your team you can use the awards as a reward for excellent results. You can set your own criteria for submitting the application, with the promise of a day out at the Awards ceremony itself if they are shortlisted. All shortlisted teams are invited to the Awards ceremony and all winning teams receive an engraved award, a team photo, that will appear in the Sunday Business Post and a logo that they can use on their emails and correspondence.
As a Director/ CEO of a company, putting your team forward for an award shows them that you are not only aware of their existence, you appreciate all the great work they are doing and would like them to get the recognition of their peers. Secure in the knowledge that no secrets have to be given away, if numbers are included in your application, they can be quoted in percentages to preserve the confidentiality of the numbers, and the applications are only shared with our judging panel, who are long serving Credit Professionals who are no strangers of confidentiality.
