Lincoln GEM Awards 2023 - Finalists announced!
Lincoln BIG are thrilled to announce the shortlisted businesses for the GEM Awards 2023. The awards recognise Lincoln BIG members for high levels of customer service and those who go the extra mile for their customers.
The judging took place throughout August and September by an independent, specialised company, Storecheckers to ensure all participating businesses are judged fairly and equally.
The stage is set, the 27 shortlisted businesses have been chosen, and excitement is mounting for the first ever GEM Awards!
The awards saw an impressive amount of business nominations, with a few organisations receiving a staggering 100% achievement for their excellent customer service.
“We’re really impressed with the feedback received by Storecheckers,” said Danielle, Relationship and Operations Manager at Lincoln BIG.
“It’s brilliant to see the wealth of excellent customer service and dedication amongst the businesses in our city. The GEM Awards are a fantastic way to shine a spotlight on those organisations that go the extra mile to make a difference in the lives of visitors, workers and locals in the city centre. The Lincoln BIG team look forward to championing our members at the awards evening in October!”
