Extract from Consignia Press Release:
Consignia has named business consulting, IT and outsourcing specialist Xansa as its 'Supplier of The Year 2002' at the annual First Class Supplier Awards ceremony held in Swindon. This is the first time in the Awards 10 year history that an IT services company has achieved overall winner status.
Xansa has worked for Consignia for over 5 years and was chosen for the top accolade because of their consistent efforts to improve Consignia's information technology business applications while making significant cost savings. Xansa manages an integrated team of IT specialists drawn both from within their own company and Consignia to provide support for the 17 business applications in use across the company.
In its tenth year, the First Class Supplier Awards are acknowledged as one of the top accolades in the supply management industry, reflecting Consignia's billion pound spend on goods and services every year.
The presentation to Xansa was made by Director of Purchasing Services Robert Albright. The event was attended by more than 60 companies representing an array of suppliers providing goods and services, from fuel to graphic design; from clothing to engineering spares.
Robert Albright said:
"Xansa has not been content to maintain business as usual, but have strived to make improvements to their services by fully understanding our requirements and adapting their service to meet our needs. Their responsiveness is excellent and their commitment goes without question."
"Since our first involvement with Xansa, I have been impressed by their enthusiasm to satisfy both our day to day requirements and some challenging individual special projects."
"The First Class Supplier Awards is an opportunity to recognise our supply partners for the contribution they are making to Consignia. I am pleased at the high standard of this year's entrants."
Receiving the award on behalf of Xansa, Mike Faragher, Client Delivery Manager for Xansa, adds:
"This award is a recognition of our commitment to Consignia and of the team's success in working together to improve productivity, drive out costs and improve the level of service to end users."
