Your chance for recognition at the 2010 NFEA National Enterprise Awards
NFEA is calling for entries for the 2010 National Enterprise Awards to support and celebrate the achievements of its members. Developed in 2007, the awards recognise excellence in the delivery of enterprise support, encouraging the exchange of good practice and the development of improved services and organisations.
The 2010 National Enterprise Awards offer NFEA members the chance to be recognised for their achievements over the last year.
This is your opportunity to tell us what you are doing and where you’ve had success - and have a chance to be recognised with an award for your efforts. As a winner of these awards, your agency will be rightly acknowledged for its achievement - and your activity will act as a benchmark for the NFEA network as a whole.
- Enhance your organisation’s reputation with a national award win or nomination
- Obtain PR exposure in your local and regional press and potentially at a national level too
- Highlight your achievements directly to your stakeholders and clients
- Increase motivation and pride amongst your team
- Be recognised by the national enterprise network
Award winners will be announced at this year’s Annual NFEA Conference, at a dedicated awards ceremony on the evening of Wednesday 15 September, at the Belfry in Nottingham.
2010 National Enterprise Awards categories:
WOMEN’S ENTERPRISE PROGRAMME:
Many NFEA members have programmes targeted at specific client groups, and this year we celebrate organisation’s commitment to women’s enterprise. Supported by Prowess, this award seeks to recognise the agency that has done the most to champion women in business.

PUNCHING ABOVE YOUR WEIGHT - SMALL AGENCY OF THE YEAR:
Our members across the enterprise network vary greatly in terms of size, from region wide agencies turning over millions of pounds to small organisations serving small rural communities. Each does an equally important job, but it can sometimes be easy to overlook the hard work of the little guy. This year, we want to highlight the work done by our smaller agencies, with the Punching Above Your Weight award. This category is open to members with turnover of up to £250,000.

GREEN AGENCY OF THE YEAR:
Environmental sustainability is increasingly recognised as a key component of any business strategy. This award recognises agencies which champion sustainability across their own operations and by providing appropriate support to their clients.

INNOVATION:
Whether through developing a new product or service, or by introducing a new method of delivery, this award recognises innovative approaches to enterprise support. Taking a fresh look at the nature and method of enterprise support delivery can help to reach new groups of clients, offer considerable added value to current customers and ultimately contribute to the sustainability of our organisations. This award seeks to highlight new and different examples of good practice across the enterprise network.

UNSUNG HERO:
‘Unsung heroes’ can be found within most of our agencies - those people who are not necessarily in the limelight, but whose contribution is crucial in meeting the needs of its clients. Often playing a vital role in ensuring the success of an agency’s operation, this award recognises the individual efforts of those who go beyond the call of duty and are shining examples of how to be enterprising. The award is supported by ACT, and is not open to agency Chief Executives.
