Today, Baringa Partners has been shortlisted for the Business Enabler of the Year, Growth Strategy of the Year and Employer of the Year at the National Business Awards in partnership with Orange. Baringa is the leading independent management consultancy specialising in the energy, utilities and financial services sectors.
Baringa will battle it out with some of Britain’s most esteemed companies with the winner being revealed at the National Business Awards gala dinner held on 13th November in London.
Martyn Hart, CEO, National Outsourcing Association and judge for the Business Enabler of the Year category, said: “An interesting growth story that clearly demonstrates how it has made management more effective, Baringa Partners is perceived by some major clients as part of their team.”
Mohamed Mansour, Managing Partner at Baringa Partners, said: “The NBA Awards are recognised as one of the industry’s most prestigious awards and we are extremely proud to confirm we are finalists in all three categories that we entered.”
The National Business Awards has today revealed over 150 of Britain’s leading businesses and business leaders as finalists in the prestigious awards programme. Organisations shortlisted include a range of private, public and third sector companies, including National Grid, Marks and Spencer, and London Early Years Foundation.
All National Business Awards finalists represent an annual turnover in excess of £135 billion and collectively employ over 700,000. They cover activities as diverse as digital marketing, international road haulage and logistics, water engineering and life sciences: sectors that reflect key areas of UK capability with high potential for international expansion. The diverse size of the companies entering is also huge – ranging from a business with an annual turnover of less than £50k to high growth and high value companies with multi-billion revenues.
Baroness Virginia Bottomley, Chair of Judges, said: “This year has been a challenging environment for British businesses: these finalists demonstrate how companies are succeeding in the current climate through innovation, originality and tenacity. It’s good to see a broad range of companies both in sector and size – an impressive representation of the potential British businesses have. Congratulations to all our finalists.”
