Event organisers Triangle Management Services are reporting an increase in the number of applicants for this year’s UK Mail Awards after entries closed on 16 September.

“Following the great interest in last year’s inaugural programme, the number of sponsored awards has been increased to seven this time round, and entries have risen in even higher proportion”, says Triangle Chief Executive Neil Jackson. “We are particularly pleased with the number of applications from service suppliers to our industry, which we believe reflects both the increasing level of excellence within this sector and the prestige which the UK Mail Awards have rapidly gained in the industry.”

A panel of independent experts from the industry will assess each entry, and the shortlists for each award will be published at the end of September. The winners will be announced at the special gala dinner on Tuesday 1 November, after the first day of The Mail Show. The presentation ceremony will take place at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington High Street, London, in front of an audience of mailing operators, technology and service providers and agencies.

The celebrated writer, broadcaster and entrepreneur Frances Edmonds, recently voted Britain’s top female after-dinner speaker, will make presentations on the night. The awards programme will recognise and reward excellence and achievement throughout the mail industry, with awards made in the following categories:

Customer Service sponsored by CMS Network
Database Management sponsored by Royal Mail
Domestic Marketing Campaign sponsored by DHL Global Mail
Innovation sponsored by TNT Mail
International Marketing Campaign sponsored by AMP Citipost
Mail Centre of the Year sponsored by UK Mail
Technology sponsored by Triangle Management Services

Places are still available for the Gala Dinner and Awards Presentation (with discounted places on offer for anyone booking for The Mail Show at the same time) - more information on reserving a place can be found on the website www.mailawards.com/ukma or by contacting media@triangle.eu.com.
