      Is this one of those 'awards ceremonies' where you pay £50 per seat for a table of six and get to choose your award?

            OK no one is getting this so there is a lot of contention for the first award

            My nominations are :

            CUK Village idiot - SASGuru
            CUK Bedwetter in chief - Doogie
            Most improved poster - Me
            Funniest poster - Dim Prawn
            Dullest poster - AtW
            Best socky - Gricer

            Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

              They're not meant for the likes of you. They're aimed at very rich, very large, very high profile and utterly abominable organisations.

              A previous public sector client "won" a medal for good practice and everyone got summoned to look at it. A quick Google search confirmed it costs $200 for the medal and certificate. You could get one from your local trophy shop for a tenner.

              The corporate risk team of recent ClientCo "won an award" for their activity in 2009. They were only formed in December 2009. Six staff people attended the ceremony having paid a goodly sum per seat.

              The customer call centre of a previous ClientCo is an award winner for being one of the best 50 call centres in the UK. Anyone with any service management experience will simply not believe how bad they really are, and they are also slated for having the highest number of written complaints in the industry. But the Gala Dinner was very pleasant, I am told. Book your chosen award early for 2011: "There are a limited number of participant places available for 2011, so contact us now to find out how your organisation can be involved."


              How does yours work, SY01? Do we all troop down to the Luton Beefeater and hand over our beer vouchers and you hand out the certificates? Or do you want payment up front? Is the "Biggest Knob on CUK" award still free? I want to buy it as a gift for someone else...

                Someone has already won that one....

                    Some photos here from the 2010 Recruiter Awards for Excellence do.
