2017 Funeral Planner of the Year Awards
The starter’s gun has been fired on the Funeral Planner of the Year Awards 2017. Golden Charter has confirmed the qualification period will run from 1 January 2016 to 31 March 2017.
Other changes see a refresh of the categories, as Golden Charter’s Director of Funeral Director Sales, Malcolm Flanders, explained: “Your feedback from this year’s celebration said the number of awards should be reduced to ensure the winners receive the attention they so richly deserve, so we will have two categories: one for those who carry out 50-249 funerals a year, and one for 250 plus.”
There will be five newcomers, and three national awards. A tiered awards system, with the best preneed to at-need ratio gaining different levels of award, is also planned. Further details will soon be released.
