There can only be one story worthy of
the heading ‘Mediawatch’ this month. Surely the most prestigious piece of
publicity ever gained by a representative of the cab trade - the almost full page
description of Dial-a-Cab’s reception area in an excellent interview with Allen
Togwell and the stunning revellation that DAC and THE TIMES are working together on a new
competition to find the City Receptionist and City Reception of the Year.
After all, where do Dial-a-Cab drivers often find themselves on a typical working day?
Reception areas of corporate buildings! Dial-a-Cab’s large base of corporate clients
means that our drivers frequently pass through receptions when delivering unaccompanied
packages or collecting business clients.
Bearing this in mind, Dial-a-Cab drivers are
probably some of the best qualified to judge the attributes of receptions - and
receptionists. That is why Dial-a-Cab has joined forces with The Times newspaper in
launching a brand new award - City Reception and City Receptionist of the Year Award - to
identify the best reception and best receptionist within the M25.
You may already be aware that the Award was launched in the Creme section
of The Times on Wednesday 7th October and nominations are invited from business people
throughout London until 18th November. Why not join them and
cast your nomination for your
favourite reception and receptionist.
Is there one company that makes its reception especially welcoming? Is there
one receptionist who stands out above the rest? Who is perhaps always willing to help out
and make your job easier? If so, why not voice your views.
Nomination forms can be obtained from the Creme section inside the Wednesday
edition of The Times, every week until 11th November or from Brunswick House. You can also
cut out and use the copy in this article. The recommendations can be made for City
Reception, City Receptionist or both.
The panel of judges, including architects, office designers and the Regional
Director of Office Angels, will decide the award winners in early December. Remember to
listen out for the first winners of this prestigious new award.
And well done Dial-a-Cab.
