Time to nominate amazing women

Pause for a moment and think about some of the amazing women in your franchise. It’s highly likely you already have someone in mind – if not more than one person. Incredible women who inspired you, and those around them, during 2021. She who lightens the room when she walks in. Who brings a smile to your day, whenever you receive an email or phone call from her. THESE are the women we want to help you applaud – even if she is you. And now it’s time!

Because the annual NatWest EWiF Awards, are now OPEN!

Why should you enter the EWiF Awards 2022?

There’s nothing better than enjoying those little “feel good” moments. The EWiF Awards are your opportunity to offer a special feel good moment to someone in your business – especially if you are shortlisted for the category you enter. The knock-on impact is the way it will boost your whole network. And, we don’t know about you, but there can never be enough of these moments!

The process of writing your entry, actually gives you the time to reflect on all your successes throughout the year. Taking the time to reward and celebrate achievements with your support teams and franchisees will also give your franchise, and more importantly the people you work with, a boost – even if they aren’t being nominated.

Entering the NatWest EWiF awards also gives you:

• Opportunities for personal and brand publicity about being shortlisted. Speak to your local TV, radio and papers
• Added trust and credibility. Update your website, social media and email signature with your finalist badges
• Potential national recognition for your achievements, which also helps to amplify your brand and reputation
• Great opportunities for networking
• A way to attract more franchisees, when you position your brand as ‘best in class’

Our judging panel are looking forward to reading your success stories, as we celebrate another great year in franchising! So, what are you waiting for?!
