Here at Trust Inheritance we wanted to recognise the great work our employees do every day and let them see that what they do does make an impact. So, we joined forces with The WOW! Awards back in 2014 and have gone from strength to strength since then!! It’s great to see all the positive nominations and feedback from our customers every month with August 2018 being our best month so far this year.
The support we receive from The WOW! Awards team has always been fantastic and we hope to carry on receiving the recognition our employees deserve via customer nominations.
