The 2010 Shared Services Excellence Awards were presented at Shared Services Week on May 25th at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Edinburgh, UK.

Once again the great and the good of Shared Services gathered for the annual gala dinner and awards ceremony - and were soon entertained by BBC newsreader and television presenter, Fiona Bruce. Following dinner, Fiona gave hilarious accounts of the mis-haps that can occur on live television - where anything is liable to go wrong, which suitably calmed any nerves the nominees may have had.

Fiona then introduced the awards ceremony which saw a succession of winners and honorary mentions receive the acclaim of their Shared Services peers - and, of course, the very fetching Shared Services Excellence Awards themselves. By the end of the evening the audience had greeted an array of truly worthy winners - outlined below.

The Shared Services & Outsourcing Network would like to offer sincere congratulations to all the winners for 2010 and, indeed, extend this to everyone who entered, as the standards of entry this year were once again of a very high level. Roll on 2010!

Testimonials

"This is the first time that Intercomp Global Services embarked on this type of collaboration with SSON. But our team has been impressed with the professionalism in the way this service was delivered and all our expectations were exceeded. The webinar we delivered in association with SSON was slick and very well organized delivering more leads than we expected and we didn’t even have to leave the office! Intercomp Global Services is very much looking forward to become a long term partner with SSON"
