| | The Management
Consultancies
Association (MCA)
recognised the shining
stars of the UK
consulting industry at
the Consultant of the
Year Awards 2008, run in
association with The
Sunday Times, on 13
November 2008.
Management consultants
from across the UK
entered the nine award
categories, and the
winners were from a
range of firms including
IBM and Accenture, who
each walked away with
two of the prestigious
awards.
The awards inspire
those thinking of a
career in consulting,
and motivate experienced
consultants to strive to
be the best. Clients
rightly demand a huge
amount from consultants
– and for consultants it
is not just about
delivering what has been
promised, but achieving
beyond expectation.
Entries this year
were up by 25% so
competition was fierce.
Over 100 guests attended
the awards ceremony in | |
|
| | London. The nine award

Hugo Were, president
of the MCA 2008/09,
commented: “I would like
to congratulate all of | |
|
| | the winners and
finalists in each of the
nine categories. With
MCA members employing
over 30,000 consultants
in the UK, these awards
really do recognise the
elite of Britain’s
consulting talent. The
MCA continues to play a
key role in recognising
and motivating high
performers and with
entries up by a quarter
on 2007, these awards
are now a permanent
fixture in the industry
calendar.
“At this economically
challenging time, these
awards highlight the
important and valuable
advice that consultants
provide to business and
government. Those
organisations that
execute this advice will
create more value and
more jobs.”
The MCA would like to
thank the category
sponsors; APM Group, BT
Global Services,
Collinson Grant, Depaul
Trust, Freshminds,
