STARS OF THE SHOW
After a triumphant launch last year, the ECA Annual Awards are back! Could you be a 2014 winner?
T
he very first ECA Annual Awards event last June was a night to remember for the ECA registered members who wowed the judges with their winning approach.
Now the awards are back and they’re bigger and
better for 2014 - with a new category to recognise ECA firms that make a difference through workforce training and development.
Great business sense
We know that time is a luxury, but please do find the time to fill in an application form. It could make a huge difference to your business. Take it from one of our 2013 winners, M&E Solutions (Fire and Maintenance), who were the judge’s outstanding favourite for ECA Small Contractor of the Year award, for its outstanding passion, customer care and attention to detail. Peter Bowes, partner and managing
director, M&E Solutions, said: ‘This win has given us great recognition and benefited us so much as a company. Since being named award winners, our local authority has asked us to quote and we have won work from them – we had knocked at that door for many years. ‘Many occasional customers were
impressed to know we were the ECA’s top small company, and it led to us doing more business for them this year. ‘We are a small contractor and a friendly
family-type company, so whatever happens to us happens to the team. We were very proud to win this award as a team and this is what we promote to our customers. ‘That night in Birmingham will be held up as one of the most important and worthwhile of our lives! Thank you ECA, we loved it.’

What are we looking for? What the judges will be focusing on in your application is evidence that you stand out in some way in your approach to the business. Perhaps your customers tell you what makes you different is the level of care you provide them, from the smallest jobs to the largest; or you might have an outstanding passion for what you do; or maybe you have carried out a recent project that is admired for its innovation. The ECA Annual Awards are also about
great teams, and recognising the people behind your brand. But don’t forget, it is vital that you complete all
sections of the application form and demonstrate that you meet the applicable entry criteria. The closing date for entries is 21 March 2014.
Stand out from the crowd This is a fantastic opportunity to be endorsed by the ECA and to show your customers, competitors and suppliers that your business is among the best in the sector. It could be the highlight of your year! Winners’ trophies will be handed out at the ECA
Annual Awards ceremony on Friday 30 May at the Electric Event 2014, attended by some of the most important businesses, organisations and individuals in our industry today. All winners receive a dedicated logo, which can be used on their email signatures, stationery and website to promote the achievement. Entry information and application forms are available to view and download at the Electric Event website
