IF HAVING a great boss makes you skip into work every morning then he or she could be in line for an new award.

Managers with motivational leadership who inspire loyalty and enthusiasm are ideal candidates for the Best Boss In Kent award.

Caroline Thorpe from Business Link, which sponsors the award, said: "Inspirational, motivating and successful managers who win the hearts and minds of their staff do exist and it's about time they were thanked for their ability to make the working environment an enjoyable place to be."

The winner will receive a hand-made, engraved silver trophy along with £1,000 from the sponsor to spend on training or support relevant to the business.
