Consignia awards Interchange for excellent service

Lockington-based, Interchange Group, has been presented with its eighth consecutive award in the Consignia First Class Supplier Awards, one of the top accolades in the supply management industry.

After scooping a record number of prizes since the start of the scheme nine years ago, including ‘IT Supplier of the Year,’ the company, which specialises in information and communications technology, has been rewarded once again for its on-going commitment to deliver excellent solutions and services to the Post Office Group.

Recognised for its dedicated customer service and high quality IT solutions, as well as its continuous support to the local community and its environmental policies, Interchange walked away with silver status for 2001.

“Consignia is one of the biggest IT users in the UK, spending over a billion pounds every year on goods and services, so to be granted silver supplier status is a huge achievement for the entire company,” said Phillip Jones, managing director of Interchange Group. “Out of Consignia’s 10,000 suppliers we are one of the few companies to gain accreditation year after year, which is a reflection on how committed we are to our promise to continuously deliver our own first class service.”

Speaking at the award ceremony, John Roberts, chief executive of Consignia said, “The First Class Supplier Awards is an opportunity to recognise our supply partners for the contribution they are making to Consignia. I was pleased at the high standard of this year's entrants."

Interchange Group, an e-business specialist in customer relationship management and service management, was presented with a certificate at the ceremony at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham on 28 November 2001.
