Operator Excellence Awards - The number one event . . .

The date is set and the wheels are set in motion for Route One to deliver the ever-popular Operator Excellence Awards 2010 on 3 November when we return to the impressive banqueting suite at the National Motorcycle Museum. Mike Morgan outlines the process that leads to the announcement of who is best in the industry.

Launched in 2005 and now in its sixth year, the routeONE Operator Excellence Awards are firmly established as the number one event in the coach and bus industry calendar. It will again be a spectacular celebration that will live up to the enviable reputation that the event has earned over the past four years as simply the best of its kind.

Timed to coincide with this year’s show, Euro Bus Expo at the NEC 2-4 November, the Awards gala dinner is the perfect high-profile and proven event for the industry to celebrate achievement and excellence.

However, the road to success for our 15 Awards winners starts now, allowing sufficient time for nomination, shortlisting, and final judging. It’s a process that is out of necessity demanding, ensuring that entry information is comprehensive, the judging meticulous, and the results credible. It’s no wonder that each year it’s been a sell-out event.

Four part process

Ahead of the spectacular night of celebration at the National Motorcycle Museum, there is a four part process, starting with the nominations and ending with the announcement of the winners before a glittering audience of over 600 industry guests.

The process for the 2010 event has started and nominations are rolling in. Judging begins with a shortlist announced in May, and our panel of industry experts meet to make their final decisions in August ahead of the presentations at our gala dinner on 3 November.
