Cool Designs LtdTF SolutionsVoting for the Customer Service Award closes on Sunday 31st January and the winner will be revealed on the night. ACR News editor Lynn Sencicle comments: “The Customer Service Award is very different from any other award in the ACR industry, in that it celebrates ordinary people. Not up and coming trainees or lifetime achievers – both very important and already well recognised – but people of all levels within the industry. People who perhaps give that little bit extra, or help to promote a company’s good reputation by their attitude and general service, no matter who their customers are. These are people who may otherwise be unrecognised except by the customers who deal with them every day.”
Companies advised to book now for next month’s ACR News Awards, hosted by top TV comedian Jimmy Carr
