Judging of GTN's Greatest Christmas Awards set to start this week


Garden centres throughout the UK are getting ready to impress judges of the GTN's Greatest Christmas Awards as inspections for this prestigious event start this coming week.

After all the judges visits, our GTN experts meet to decide on the winners and the results will be announced at The Greatest Awards Christmas Party on January 8th 2017 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 today through to Thursday December 22nd.  When all the votes are counted, the size of each garden centre team is then taken into account so that small and medium sized centre teams have as much chance of winning this accolade as large centres.

To register your team for customer voting in GTN’s Greatest Christmas Awards please send an email to thegreatestawards@tgcmc.co.uk or follow the link below to download the voting forms and posters to get started straight away.
