Local companies CSS and Accountancy Solutions took top honours at the second annual Sage Circle of Excellence Awards ceremony in Manchester last week.
Sage, the UK's leading provider of business management software and services, introduced the concept of a Circle of Excellence last year in order to recognise and reward the business partners who provide outstanding customer service, and whose customers are the most likely to recommend them to friends and colleagues. The Circle is open to all Sage Business Partners, no matter which product they sell from Sage's extensive portfolio, but only the top 1% were chosen to form the 15 member Circle.
On presenting the award to CSS and Accountancy Solutions, Paul Stobart, CEO, UK and Ireland Region, Sage (UK) Limited, states, “We are delighted to present this award to CSS and Accountancy Solutions. They represent excellence in customer service and are one of the first to join what I am sure will become an exclusive club. My congratulations go to all involved."
Explaining the concept of the Circle of Excellence Stobart continues, "Given that word of mouth recommendation is the most important measure of a company’s performance, it makes sense to measure how our customers feel about us and our business partners. CSS and Accountancy Solutions show that traditional service and support are still key to modern businesses."
CSS Managing Director, Peter Green, says, "We are delighted to win this award. Not only is it recognition of all the hard work the team has put in but also it is great to receive this type of endorsement from our customers. It reflects totally our business ethos of providing top quality support and service to local Sage users. We look forward to developing this further with new and existing customers in the future."
