The Computer Weekly Best Places to Work in IT Awards 2007 attracted over 400 guests from the IT industry to the London Marriott Hotel on Friday 2nd March. ITRM were delighted to be announced the winner of the award for the category of IT Services Suppliers including Outsource Providers.
55 organisations with IT departments from leading companies of all sizes, representing every sector of UK business life were shortlisted in over 14 categories for the Best Places to Work in IT. All have very different ideas about how to make their IT departments, a positive working environment.
The independent panel of judges included ITRM in the final shortlist based on their review of the company’s overall benefits package, HR and training, policies, facilities and general approach to developing a positive working environment. The decision to present the award to ITRM was very welcome public recognition of the organisation’s corporate approach to recruiting and retaining its staff.
The event proved out to be a great success with several Internationally established companies included in the running for various categories, these included; BP, Dell, Proctor and Gamble – to name but a few. The quality and quantity of this year's response makes it one of the largest and most definitive snapshots of IT employment undertaken in the UK.
Managing Director, Dave White accepted the award:
"This is just the latest milestone in the extraordinary success story that is ITRM. Our focus on service delivery and customer satisfaction as opposed to black and white hard nosed profit is helping to define ITRM as a market leader. The impressive growth is attributed in the main by word of mouth recommendations and our growing excellent reputation within the industry, without our people none of this would be possible.
At ITRM our people are everything, we meticulously appraise them, nurture them, empower them and most importantly we listen to them and allow them to actively contribute to our evolution. I am very proud of ITRM and see this as just the beginning in our exciting future together"
