All your customers have to do is complete a voting form and post them in a collection box in-store, or post to us.  We count all the votes after the closing date of Monday 30th June and announce the winners at The Greatest Awards Party on the evening of Monday 7th July.

The winning customers will be selected from all the votes, grouped into 5 regions.  

The Greatest Garden Centre Catering Teams will be the teams with the most votes in each of the regions with seperate awards for different size of catering teams.  It's only the opinions of your customers that count in this category!

So every catering team has a real chance to win.

Go on, download the posters and voting postcard pdfs today and get your customers involved.  You'll be surprised at the wonderful things they say about your catering team.  It's a great market research exercise as well as a great team motivator.
