The ceremony
We look forward to welcoming you to The WOW! Awards Ceremony 2023. Celebrating exceptional employees and organisations who support customers, drive satisfaction and exceed all expectations. The WOW! Awards Ceremony recognises the inspiring efforts of customer service professionals. Giving them a unique opportunity to get recognition for their hard work and dedication to getting the right results for their customers.
With our recognition programmes, we work with organisations across the UK and beyond collecting positive feedback about customer and patient experiences. Our ceremony highlights the very best stories we have received. We recognise the individuals who have delivered their very best and the supporting organisations who put powerful strategies in place that allow employees to deliver great results.
It was so inspirational for us to attend seeing how people go above and beyond in their own way to help others and we felt blessed to be part of it!
