We’re the winner!
It’s been a big secret for us to keep, but we’re so proud to finally be able to share this fantastic news with you all.
The even better news is that we have now won this award twice in a row! Once in 2021/22 and again in 2022/23!
Who Are Prestige Awards?
Prestige Awards are a part of Corporate Livewire, a publication that champions global businesses. The Prestige Awards were created to celebrate the small and independent businesses that are often overlooked in the awards arena. They honour the businesses and individuals that always offer high-quality services and products to their local residents.
Their founder and CEO Osmaan Mahmood stated that “although small businesses may not be able to compete with multinational companies on their size and scale, there is a personalised service-driven focus that is often void from large corporations.” This is something that all the team at CCM can attest to! Their research team contacted us in late October and we jumped at the chance to get involved.
Prestige readers are asked to nominate local businesses, and their leaders scope out businesses that they think deserve the win. We were shortlisted as one to watch and asked to complete an evidence board showing proof of our success. This highlighted the most outstanding parts of our business including the positive feedback from our loyal customers. This was by far, the easiest step for us as we have hundreds of glowing reviews from our loyal customers. CCM appreciate and thank every one of you!
We had to show how we were different to other similar businesses so we made sure to include some of the brilliant articles that Tina has written for big news outlets. We included how much we focus on training and upskilling our teams, our company values, our future objectives and goals and much more. It took us quite a while to get the full entry put together, but we got it done in time for the deadline.
Our entry was passed onto the judging panel which had to base their decision upon a combination of areas including, service excellence, quality of products/service provided, our company values, innovative practices plus consistency in our performance. The winners were chosen for their ability to demonstrate all of these strengths.
It was a good few weeks before we heard that we were the winner but when we did it was an amazing feeling. Cue celebrations from all the CCM teams!
The Celebration
To commemorate our win, a small number of our team were invited down to the Solent Hotel & Spa near Portsmouth. Here we collected our award and had a mini photoshoot with Prestige. More pictures to follow! As a thank you for the hard work put into the entry process, our team leaders took Hannah our sales & marketing executive along with them. Although we didn’t get the glitz and glamour of your usual award night, it was still very exciting to be involved with such an occasion.
Our trophy will be going on a tour of all our sites. You’ll find it taking pride of place in our reception areas.
We’re really proud to be the winner of this and we have to say a big thank you to our brilliant customers. One of the favourite things the judges noticed about us is how amazing our reviews are. We couldn’t have done it without your kind words and your continued service so thank you!
