Industry Recognition Awards 2020
2020 HASN’T PROVIDED MANY CHANCES FOR THE INDUSTRY TO COME TOGETHER, NETWORK AND CONNECT
Teams have often been working remotely and understandably all businesses efforts have been focused on pivoting business models and protecting their teams.
BOSS want to address this and give the industry a chance to gather together, as an industry, for one evening to recognise their colleagues, leaders and friends in the sector who have excelled throughout the last 7 months.
We all have individuals in our teams who have given their all, regardless of having additional pressures of home-schooling, noisy flatmates and less than desirable working conditions.
Then there are the leaders who moved swiftly into crisis mode and put on a brave face every day to lead and support their teams and/or communities.
This year’s awards are slightly different to the usual, but then 2020 has been a very different year. Joining together to celebrate people and giving you the chance to nominate those you feel deserve to be recognised. BOSS look forward to everyone coming together on the 26th of November to chat to old friends and connect with new ones.
