AWARD

 Lünendonk B2B Service-Award

The Lünendonk B2B Service Award is one of the most renowned and serious in the industry. On the one hand, service providers cannot apply for it; on the other hand, the award is not tied to any obligations. Every year Lünendonk & Hossenfelder honours successful people and companies from the business-to-business service market in the categories of performance, innovation and life’s work. A jury consisting of 15 chief and business editors from renowned media selects the winners in a secret postal vote. Receiving the Lünendonk B2B Service Award is at the same time an expression of the appreciation of renowned market observers, who have accompanied the successful work of the award winners for decades. The award ceremony traditionally takes place during the Lünendonk Day.

Lünendonk Day

Once a year, Lünendonk & Hossenfelder invites you as host and initiator of the exclusive Lünendonk Day in Frankfurt am Main: Board members, managing directors and managing partners of service companies will find a network platform here to discuss current topics and trends and to exchange ideas across industries step. The event always begins with a keynote speech by an external speaker who works outside the service sector. Participation is only possible with accreditation.
