Announcing FCS INDUSTRY AWARDS 2008
London 19 March: The Federation of Communication Services has launched its industry awards for 2008- searching for excellence.
In 2008 FCS will be making four awards in four industry sectors- business radio, mobile equipment installation, fixed service provision and VoIP solutions each sponsored by an industry partner
Jacqui Brookes, FCS CEO said in launching the competition to find this year’s winners, “The purpose of the FCS Industry Awards 2008 is to foster excellence and recognise and reward achievement. FCS encourages best practice and innovation throughout the communications services industry and our awards are open to companies of all sizes. The awards will be presented at the FCS AGM on 19 June 2008 in London”.
In 2008 the four awards are:
Gerald David OBE Award for Innovation in Business Radio
The award, now in its 5th year, is for companies delivering business to business radio and spectrum services including manufacturers, network operators, dealers and application providers. The panel of judges, chaired by Dave Hosie of Audiolink, encourages applicants showing innovation, spectrum efficiency and marketability of products or services. The award is being sponsored by Team Simoco
Mobile Equipment Installers Award
The Mobile Equipment Installers Award is open to installation companies including members of the FCS and the Silver Award Scheme. The panel of judges, chaired by Matthew Harris of Winning Solutions, is looking for examples of quality of service, best practice and customer satisfaction and encourages applications from local, regional and national businesses.
Fixed Service Provider of the Year Award
Service providers and resellers are an important and growing force in the telephony sector. To recognise and encourage these achievements, the FCS set up this new award in 2006. Sam Dawkins of Club Communications chairs the panel of judges who are looking for the company or product which has made the biggest contribution to promoting innovation or excellence in the area of fixed line telephony. The award is being sponsored by Openreach
VoIP Solution of the Year Award
The VoIP sector is fast establishing itself as a major influence in the UK telephony market. New entrants offer new ideas and new services and in order to encourage high standards and best practice FCS is making this award for the second time. The judging panel, chaired by Dave Dadds of Vanilla IP, encourages entries from suppliers that facilitate voice communications over IP networks. The award is being sponsored by Gamma Telecom
