The Management Consultancies Association (MCA) is one step closer to finding Britain’s top consulting firms and can now reveal the names of the shortlisted consultancies for the MCA Awards 2011. The MCA Awards, which combine the MCA Management Awards and MCA Consultant of the Year Awards recognise the very best consultants and consultancy/client teams, all of whom have delivered truly outstanding results and demonstrated how the UK consulting industry is a positive force for the economy.
Entries for the nineteen award categories are drawn up in partnership with clients and judged by a panel of senior figures from business, public sector organisations, business schools and journalism.
Alan Leaman, Chief Executive of the MCA said:
“These awards recognise the top performers in the British consulting industry. UK consulting is a world leader and firms which sign up to the MCA’s Code of Practice put high standards and clients’ interests first. The standard of entries was extremely high and all displayed outstanding consulting skills. Our congratulations go to the excellent consultancies that have been shortlisted.”
The winners will be announced at the MCA Awards Dinner to be held on 7 April 2011 at the prestigious Lancaster London Hotel and will be featured in a special supplement in The Times in April 2011. To book places visit www.mca.org.uk/awards
