Entries open for BOSS’ Industry Recognition Awards 2020

BOSS has opened entries for its Industry Recognition Awards today (1st October).

Building on the success of its virtual Future Focus conference which attracted just under 400 attendees, BOSS is giving the industry a chance to gather together for one evening to recognise their colleagues, leaders and friends in the sector who have excelled, specifically throughout the last seven months.

BOSS will be providing a virtual environment where you can gather your team together to socialise with each other on private virtual tables or connect with the whole industry over video chat while watching excellent live entertainment. As a sector individuals and teams who have gone above and beyond will be celebrated and BOSS is encouraging everyone to nominate those you feel deserve to be recognised this 2020. 

BOSS will also be running a number of initiatives on the evening looking to support the BOSS Business Supplies Charity who have supported many individuals financially throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, granting over £70k year to date. 

Amy Hutchinson, BOSS CEO said, "I am delighted to launch our Awards. At BOSS we feel it is more important than ever this year to come together as an industry to connect with friends and colleagues as well as meeting new people.

"We're doing something a little different from previous years. For one, the ceremony is virtual, but secondly, the awards will focus on recognising teams and individuals throughout the industry who have gone above and beyond over the last 7 months throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. 

"It's a chance for companies to celebrate their employees and connect with people they may have not seen while we've all been limited in our interactions. We're calling it the Industry Recognition Awards – brought to you by BOSS. I do hope I will see many of you there on the 26th of November."

The deadline for entries is Friday 23 October 2020. All entries can be made online and submitted directly on the Industry Recognition Awards – brought to you by BOSS website. To enter into one of the categories, you can nominate an individual or company or enter yourself or company, the cost is £25 per entry.
