CLIPPINGS &

NFA Awards Gather Momentum - The Race Is On

In any sector a business leader should want to win - particularly where awards are launched to give those in an industry a real voice. Recognition is also important. The NFA awards come with tangible benefits having been launched for the industry itself to recognise the merits and commitment of those who want to see it succeed as a professional model for recognition of quality. ]Nomination and voting is simple, but it has a very loud voice and does benchmark nominees with others in the sector. This gives people the opportunity to compare and contrast in a healthy way. Being nominated is as important as those in the winners circle - the industry has committed to support a company and the team behind it. Having been launched for the industry by Lee Clarke and Jason Grafton-Holt in a bid to reinforce the strengths and quality of leaders in the sector, winning an NFA award provides credible endorsement for any business. Consequently, for customers, suppliers and potential investors this gives a viable stamp of approval from the whole industry. Just by nomination, this will help to boost relationships and working partnerships for a company and its customers. The exposure on success gains credibility and helps those who work alongside. It should always be remembered that awards are an excellent marketing tool that can be overlooked. Improved brand awareness comes from promotion about nominations - extended exposure to potential clients will open doors to new contacts. Winning that award, substantiates all the qualities for which the brand is recognised - the customers will be those supporting the nomination in the first place. New contacts will feel inspired to investigate options further. Staff morale and security is also boosted by nomination - there is a great pride that ripples its way around a company when awards have been won. It gives everyone from production floor to the boardroom a real chance to celebrate a victory together. The NFAs will have been well deserved as the industry has voted, supported and recognised qualities they wish to acknowledge. On top of this, the NFAs bring a quality to the whole sector in terms of recognition for the next generation. These business awards can help to attract the best new talent as well as highly skilled people to a company that the industry has to offer - let’s face it, everyone wants to acknowledge a winning team and to be part of it. It raises the level of a business. The NFA Awards celebrate hard work and success which give companies excellent PR

opportunities. The process of being nominated is frequently as important as the winning - it places a business along-side the leaders in the sector. The NFAs were created for the industry. These accolades have grown in recognition to reflect not just the success stories associated with the sector but also the changes and developments of innovation. The voices across the industry need to be heard in an open arena which supports business at every single level. Lee Clarke comments. “After two turbulent business years for everyone, with a pandemic and economic repercussions like never before seen, this year’s awards is very special. This year there are more awards as they diversify to include a greater number of business arenas that are associated with the fenestration sector. We are here to promote and support the industry as it strides forward.” Jason Grafton-Holt concludes, “The team is very excited to be able to host one the awards this year, particularly as it will be a great opportunity for key decision makers to meet and greet each other for a long time. The Awards speak volumes about a company’s standing and business ethics as they provide, third party endorsement of achievements gained and services provided. Being short-listed or wining an NFA award serves as testament to a company’s achievements. Considering the benefits and the positive impact the awards can have on every employee, the NFAs help to set a company apart from its competitors. This differentiation is clear as it is acknowledged and voted for by the voices of the industry.”
