acs Office Solutions wins two awards at regional heat of UK Chamber Awards
An innovative Northampton business solutions provider will line up alongside some of the country’s most successful companies as it competes for leading national awards.
acs Office Solutions has picked up two Chamber Awards - Excellence in Customer Service, sponsored by AXA PPP healthcare, and the Award for Excellence in People Development - at the regional finals and will now fight it out with other finalists from around the UK at the national Chamber Awards, which are hosted by the British Chambers of Commerce and created to celebrate the UK’s most successful businesses.
John Longworth, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce, said: “The health of the UK’s economy relies upon the confidence of our businesses to grow, invest and create jobs. That’s why the British Chambers of Commerce has been working hard to ensure Government makes good on its promises to encourage enterprise, and do everything in its power to help businesses grow.
“All the good things we want to see in society depend on business and wealth creation. These awards provide a snapshot of some of the most impressive companies from across the country. Many of these business owners are working day in day out to build upon the companies they have built from scratch, creating jobs in local communities, and contributing to the economic recovery we so desperately need. We’re delighted to be able to celebrate the success of these companies through the Chamber Awards.”
acs provides IT solutions, office furniture and interiors as well as online services to SMEs. A large part of what acs does means businesses rely on them for fast, efficient advice and responses. As a consequence, the Brackmills-based firm has concentrated on up-skilling its workforce over the last three years – with great effect. The company had its best year ever last year, recording growth of 13.4% and it hopes to see 50% growth over the next three years.
Having won a regional award, acs is now in the running for the national title in its categories, as well as the chance to collect the Award for Outstanding Business Achievement – with a top prize of £25,000 and runner up prizes of £15,000 and £10,000.
There are nine categories, backed by high profile sponsors including RBS and NatWest, BT Business, BT Directories, Dell, DHL Express, the British Standards Institution (BSI), AXA PPP healthcare and Westfield Health. The national winners will be announced at a ceremony at London’s Connaught Rooms on 24 November 2011.
Paul Griffiths, Chief Executive of Northamptonshire Chamber, and Tracey Branson, Head of Operations, will present the awards to acs tomorrow.
