The UK’s premier member body for outsourcing, the National Outsourcing Association (NOA) has opened its seventh annual awards for entry.
Companies that believe they have undertaken outstanding work, surpassed results or shown a constant focus on sourcing best practice, are encouraged to submit their entries by the 9th of July 2010.
The awards, which consist of 16 categories, range from BPO contract of the year, through to offshoring location are anticipated to prove even more popular this year, with more entries than ever expected as the outsourcing industry continues to boom.
The awards winners will be announced later on in the year at a gala dinner ceremony at the exclusive Park Plaza Riverbank hotel on the 21st of October.
Martyn Hart, Chairman of the NOA, commented,
“Over the last six years, the NOAAs have become a landmark in the acceptance of outsourcing as an essential business practice and recognise the efforts of companies or people who have shown excellence in the field of outsourcing.”
He continued, “These awards are a great way for industry professionals to come together and celebrate success in outsourcing. Outsourcing has remained relatively steady during 2009 despite the recession and this positive performance should be acknowledged. Looking forward, 2010 promises to be an interesting year, with the predicted uptick in the private sector set against inevitable cost cutting throughout the public sector. Though nothing is set in stone, it remains clear that following best practice will continue to increase the possibility of outsourcing success, whether for business enhancement or business necessity.”
