Spirit Of Enterprise: Shortlisted For Marketing Initiative

Posted on: 08/10/2014

At WT Skip Hire we have been nominated for a local award. Having previously been Skip Hire Magazine's company of the month, to be shortlisted as a finalist for an award in marketing initiative is something we are hugely proud of. We thought we would take the time to talk about the award and what we have done to have been selected as a finalist. What are the Spirit of Enterprise Awards? Created by enterpriseGY, an organisation funded by Great Yarmouth Borough Council, the Spirit of Enterprise Awards was made to promote enterprise in business in the Great Yarmouth area. The awards have been running now for 7 years, giving out its first batch of awards in 2007, and have been growing and expanding over time to offer more awards and recognise different businesses for their workmanship and contribution to enterprise. What categories of award do they present? There are 11 different awards up for grabs, with the final award in the list being a new addition for 2014. The business of the year award can be won by a winner of the 9 other categories. The categories of award include:
  • Great Engineering/Manufacturing Award
  • Great Investment in Young People
  • Great New Business Award
  • Great New Business Idea
  • Great Customer Service Award
  • Great Community Contribution Award
  • Great International Growth Award
  • Great Marketing Initiative Award
  • Great Business Growth Award
  • Business of the Year
  • Great Personal Contribution to the Great Yarmouth Economy
What have we been shortlisted for? At WT Skip Hire we have been selected as a finalist for the Marketing Initiative Award, along with 2 other companies. This award celebrates businesses who have undertaken a new marketing initiative such as a new website, social media, TV/radio campaign, printed media or exhibition that has directly increased sales, footfall or visitors and enquiries. At WT in-particular we have been chosen for our skip-painting campaign that we participated in back in June - be sure to read all about in our series of blogs. Fingers crossed we get chosen to receive the award! The ceremony is on Friday 21st November so we have just over a month to wait and find out. We are looking forward to attending. WT Award Photo
