The Golden Bridge award created a positive vibe at Bel’Export. It was a recognition for our hard work and overcoming the numerous challenges we face in the UK. Staff are proud to be part of a winning team and our customers are happy to be part of the success story.
For myself it was one big adventure which began with completing a simple application form and resulted in winning the Golden Bridge Award.
My advice to everyone who is exporting to the UK, is to apply for the Golden Bridge Awards. If you believe in your product and your story, you have a good chance of winning. If you do not win however, you will still have a great evening at the Award Ceremony with your customers.
