It’s true that some winners are just happy to collect their BIBAs trophy, put it on display and leave it at the one.
Other businesses though get the buzz and want more.
Which is very much the case for Becketts, winner of Professional Service Business of the Year at last years event. Having attended numerous ceremonies under the lights at Blackpool Tower Ballroom, the thrill of the chase has mean they are back for more.
“We definitely intend to enter again and defend our crown,” says Andrew Walsh, ops director, “the experience is not just about winning; it’s a challenge as to whether we can stay true to our continual improvement philosophy – can we advance our application again and talk about new achievements and initiatives since our last entry.
“Our success at the BIBAs, for us, lays down a marker that we are operating at the top table across the entire professional services industry. Receiving awards and recognition, in a profession where word of mouth and recommendations remain indefatigable, awards enhance our credibility when introducing our business to new people.
