What is the Business of Excellence Award?
The Business of Excellence Awards program was introduced in 2009 to acknowledge the businesses that go the extra mile to make seniors feel special.
Whether it is the extra service businesses provide in finding the right product; the special attention that makes the night out more enjoyable; the senior- friendly premises; or the exceptional value of the discount offer, these things are appreciated by seniors.
The Awards program provides the opportunity for Seniors Card holders to nominate their favourite "senior friendly" business as a Business of Excellence.
How can I be recognised as a Business of Excellence?
If your senior customers compliment your business on the service you provide, encourage them to show their appreciation by nominating your business as a Business of Excellence.
Businesses selected as overall winners in each of the "General Business" and "Tourism and Leisure" sectors, will be promoted on the front cover of the respective Seniors Card Business Directory.
