Triangle Management Services has introduced a new incentive scheme into the UK mail market in the shape of the UK Mail Awards. Launched as a spin-off to their hugely successful World Mail Awards, the programme is designed to recognise and reward best practice within the national market.

Applications are now open and will close on 1 October 2004. The winners will be celebrated at a special gala dinner on 2 November in London. The judging panels are made up of distinguished independent industry experts from trade bodies, industry associations and corporate organisations.

Categories and sponsors are:

• Database Management sponsored by Royal Mail

• Mail Centre of the Year sponsored by UK Mail

• Innovation sponsored by TNT Mail

• Domestic Marketing Campaign sponsored by Deutsche Post Global Mail

• Technology supported by Triangle Management Services
