BT today has been named as the ‘Best Global Carrier’ and chief executive officer, Ben Verwaayen recognised as the ‘Most Influential Person in Communications’ at this year’s World Communication Awards in London. The World Communication Awards are widely recognised as the leading global industry event of its kind. This year’s awards attended by more than 500 senior influencers and decision-makers were the most competitive yet with just 40 operators being short listed from more than 120 entries.
Overall BT had a strong showing at this year’s awards. In addition to winning ‘Best Global Carrier’ BT was highly commended for ‘Best Brand’ and was a finalist for ‘Best Customer Care’ and ‘Best Managed Service’.
According to the judges BT Global Services has emerged as ‘Best Global Carrier’ in what has been an outstanding year for the company.
Andy Green, chief executive officer, BT Global Services, said: “This is a fantastic result for BT. Being awarded ‘Best Global Carrier’ is true recognition of our global scale and capability. We are winning major international contracts with clients world-wide and this is further endorsement of our success. Global Services is one of the growth engines of BT, and the division continues to go from strength to strength.”
David Molony, editor in chief at Total Telecom, said: “The judges all agreed that BT Global Services has had an outstanding year. Its efforts in reorganising its business and promoting networked IT services have all come together in major contract wins, profits and significant acquisitions. The WCA judges set great store by customer testimonials, and BT's were exceptional.”
Commenting on ‘The Most Influential Person in Communications’ category, Molony continued: “The voting said it all, and the judges were almost unanimous. Ben Verwaayen has shown how a major telco can be given a new direction and become a market leader again. In BT’s case, the company is even doing things that new competitors hadn't thought of.”
