C-NLIS Local Land Charges Industry Award

The Council for the National Land Information Service (C-NLIS) has named Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council winner of a Marketing Innovation Award in its Local Land Charges Industry Achievement Awards.  The awards were presented on 29th January 2008 at the Blackpool Hilton, as part of the annual Local Land Charges Conference.

C-NLIS created the awards to acknowledge the work and achievements of Local Land Charges Officers around the country and to give recognition to those local authorities who are playing a key role in modernising and shaping the future of the industry.

Borough Councillor Rachel Bailey, Portfolio Holder for Planning, said: “I am absolutely delighted that Crewe and Nantwich Borough Council has been honoured in the C-NLIS awards.  It reflects the excellent service provided, never mind the foresight of what is a very committed and hard working team, to ensure that members of the public and businesses know just what to expect and what is available via the Land Charges Section of CNBC.  It is very exciting and great news that Lorraine Rossiter and her team have been presented with this award.”

The Marketing Innovation Award was created to applaud the most innovative and successful marketing campaign. Entrants were asked to demonstrate their marketing tactics, send in examples of marketing materials and give evidence of the campaigns outcome.

Alex Fraser, Chief Executive of C-NLIS said: “All of our Awards winners were of a consistently high standard.  Their hard work and dedication to quality is an inspiration to Local Land Charges Departments across the country.”
