Why should you enter the EWIF Awards 2019?

Entering awards is a great thing to do, regardless of whether or not you’re nominated.

The process of writing an entry allows you to reflect on your progress and take stock of all your successes.

Taking the time to reward and celebrate achievements with your support teams and franchisees can give the business, and more importantly the people working in it, a boost.

They’re also an effective way of gaining publicity for your brand and gain added trust and credibility.

In addition, the awards are a great opportunity for entrants to network with other finalists and attend the exclusive awards reception, plus there’s the potential to attract more would-be franchisees and position your brand as ‘best in class’.

All entries must be submitted before 5pm on February 27, 2019, with the finalists being announced on March 26.
