Brainwave has won the Somerset Charity of the Year Award |
Brainwave has won the Somerset Charity of the Year Award. This was part of the Somerset Business Awards, organised by the Somerset Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Small Businesses and designed to recognise and celebrate business success in Somerset.
Christine Cryne, Brainwave's Chief Executive Officer, said "To win the Award we had to prove that we showed sound business planning and financial management, delivered excellent customer service, was dedicated to supporting and developing our staff and embracing IT to improve our business. We were delighted to win as we are a small charity and an award like this helps our credibility with donors, on whom we rely as we receive no funding from Government. As it is independently accessed, it really does give us kudos."
This is the second time Brainwave has been a winner at the Somerset Business Awards. In 2008, Brainwave won Somerset Business of the Year Award for 50+ employees.
