Nominate your teams for GTN’s The Greatest Christmas Awards


Christmas is upon us once again, and the signs are it’s going to be a great one for garden centres. So now is the time for you to nominate your teams to be a part of GTN’s The Greatest Christmas Awards.

All you have to do is nominate your team using the form in the November issue of GTN (or send an email to thegreatestawards@tgcmc.co.uk) to arrive no later than Monday 9th November and we will then organise for one of GTN’s The Greatest Awards team of experts to come and visit you to find out just what makes your teams so great at Christmas.

After all the judges visits, our experts meet to decide on the winners and the results will be announced at The Greatest Awards Christmas Party on January 10th 2016 in the Majestic Hotel, Harrogate, during the evening after the first day of the Harrogate Christmas & Gift Show.

The award for The Greatest Garden Centre Team at Christmas is a category decided purely by customer voting. Using the voting postcard pdfs we supply you can invite your customers to vote for you as The Greatest Garden Centre Team at Christmas. You can also invite them to vote online using a special Greatest Awards voting link.

Voting will run from November 23rd through to Christmas Eve.  When all the votes are counted, the size of each garden centre team is then taken into account so that small centre teams have as much chance of winning this accolade as large centres.

To register your team for customer voting in GTN’s The Greatest Christmas Awards please send an email to thegreatestawards@tgcmc.co.uk
