In addition, the winner of the prestigious Industry Leadership award will be determined by a special panel of distinguished judges, but is not open to public entries.
With three new sponsors on board this year, the total of ten prizes to be awarded on the night is the largest in the history of these honours. New awards for Corporate Social Responsibility (sponsored by Deutsche Post World Net) and People Management (Australia Post) have been introduced to recognise the mailing industry’s commitment to its workforce and to society as a whole.
As well as these two companies, the full list of organisations supporting this year’s awards includes Emirates Post, Geopost, Innovapost, Intermec, ME-news, Pitney Bowes, Royal Mail and Spring. Further sponsorship opportunities remain for the 2006 World Mail Awards – for more information, interested parties should contact Triangle Sales Director Nigel Ashton at nigel.ashton@triangle.eu.com.
Triangle Chief Executive Neil Jackson is particularly pleased to welcome the new sponsors and new awards for 2006: “The new categories reflect the mailing industry’s increasing recognition of corporate ethics and its social responsibilities in the 21st century. Just as importantly, the additional new sponsors demonstrate their commitment to excellence within our industry. The World Mail Awards continue to grow from strength to strength, and I am delighted that this year’s ceremony will be our biggest and best ever.”
All categories will be judged by a panel of prestigious industry experts from around the world. They will initially produce shortlists from the entries received before meeting in Paris on the day of the awards ceremony to select the winners. The 2006 World Mail Awards will be presented at the Sofitel Forum Rive Gauche hotel in Paris on Wednesday 10 May, on the eve of the World Mail & Express European conference at the same venue. The industry’s top performers will be rewarded for achievement, excellence and best practice across a range of categories at a Gala Dinner attended by over 300 of the leading figures in the global mail industry.
