CCA Excellence Awards Shortlist 2010


CCA Excellence Awards programme is designed to recognise achievements of individuals and organisations committed to delivering outstanding customer service.


Anne Marie Forsyth, Chief Executive, CCA said, “In today’s challenging climate it’s more important than ever to recognise the efforts of individuals and teams dedicated to going the extra mile to deliver for customers and these Awards are designed to do just that. With an 80% increase in submissions in 2010, organisations are clearly committed to recognising the hard work undertaken throughout the year. I’d like to wish all the short-listed entrants the best of luck.”


The Awards winners will be announced on the evening of 16th November 2010 at CCA’s Gala Dinner & Excellence Awards Ceremony, being held at The Hilton, Glasgow.
