Sometimes excellence exists in the shadows.

Premier Guarantee’s By Your Side Award has been created to change that - by shining a light on the individuals who give their all, lift others up and make a lasting difference without expecting recognition in return.

This Excellence Award celebrates colleagues who go above and beyond their role, demonstrate outstanding teamwork or make meaningful contributions to their community.

It’s an opportunity to bring forward the quiet heroes - the people whose impact is felt every day, even if it’s not always seen.

The winner will be honoured at the prestigious Premier Guarantee Excellence Awards on Friday 25^th September in London. 

Each nomination is reviewed by an independent judging panel using four clear criteria.

1. Above and beyond: Actions that exceed the expectations of their role, from taking initiative to solving challenges outside their usual remit.

2. Teamwork: Collaboration, morale-building, reliability and inclusivity - assessed across key behaviours such as stepping in to support others, uplifting colleagues, delivering consistently and creating an inclusive, empathetic environment.

3. Impact: Demonstrable contributions that have created significant, measurable or lasting benefit for a team, project or community.

4. Story Strength: A bonus category evaluating the authenticity, clarity and substance of the nomination. This focuses on honest examples - not writing ability.

The four highest-scoring nominees will be named finalists, with the top score overall crowned the winner.

Nominating a colleague is simple. Submit this form and be sure to include:

• A summary of the nominee’s achievements and impact
• Clear examples of their dedication
• Your contact details and the nominee’s details (name, company, email, phone number, site)

All fields must be completed. Incomplete submissions cannot be accepted.

Nominations close at midnight on Sunday 26^th April.
