Wallenborn Transports S.A. named National Champion in the European Business Awards 2016/17
Wallenborn has been named a National Champion for Luxembourg in The European Business Awards, sponsored by RSM; Europe’s largest business competition set up to celebrate business excellence and best practice in the European business community.
Luxembourg, 05.09.2016
The Awards, now in its 10th year, is supported by business leaders, academics and political representatives from across Europe, and this year engaged with over 33,000 businesses from 34 countries.
Wallenborn has been chosen after the first phase of judging by an independent panel. We were evaluated on the core EBA values of innovation, ethics and success and will now go through to the second stage of the competition, which includes a video and a public vote.
Upon hearing the news this morning, Frantz Wallenborn, President & CEO said: “We are very proud to be selected to represent Luxembourg as a National Champion. The European Business Awards is widely recognised as the showcase for Europe’s most dynamic companies and we are proud to be recognised at this level. In particular, we are proud of the recognition for our Customer Focus, an area we have focused on, and invested in significantly over the past year.”
Adrian Tripp, CEO of the European Business Awards said: “Congratulations to Wallenborn Transports who have been selected to represent their country as National Champions. They are central to the success of Europe’s strong business community, and have shown the core principles we look for of innovation, ethics and success.”
The next round requires the National Champions to make a presentation video, telling their unique story and explaining their business success. The Awards’ independent judges will award the best of this group the ‘Ruban d’Honneur’ status and the selected companies will then go on to the Gala Final in 2017.
Separately, in a two stage public vote, the videos will be hosted on the European Business Awards website, and the company who receives the most votes in their country will become the ‘National Public Champion’. Last year over 227,000 votes were cast as companies were supported globally by their clients, staff and peers, as well as the general public. We will keep you informed on this front and ask for your vote when the time comes!
