If only companies focused as much on looking after their customers and improving staff morale as they do going after pointless awards.

I agree to a certain extent, but equally, events like the UK Bus Awards are a chance for lots of staff who don't normally get fancy days out to be recognised and that has a really good impact on staff morale
