Why?
For many years there have been awards to recognise front of house staff working in hotels. However, with more and more of these outstanding individuals moving over to the corporate world, attracted by higher salaries, a better work life balance and the opportunity to build a rewarding career in some of the most fantastic organisations in the world, it was the right time to create an opportunity to recognise and celebrate these talented people.
So, in 2019, a new award for Corporate Receptionist of the Year was first launched with huge success.

Overseen by Head Judge, Derek Williams, Founder of the WOW! Awards, the panel will once again be an experienced team of senior executives who all have significant experience in the corporate sector.
