Qedis: The Best Small Management Consultancy to Work for - Sunday Times!
LONDON, March 1, 2010--
Qedis has rocketed to 4th place, above any other management consultancy,
climbing 18 places from last year in the 'Sunday Times Best Small Companies
to Work For' list. This is in the backdrop of difficult market conditions in
consulting, cut backs in spending as well as continued business growth of 30%
from last year.
This year over 900 companies were surveyed for the lists and over 1100
applied for 'Best Companies Star Accreditation'. Only 50 achieved the highest
award of 3-stars, one of those 50 being Qedis, who also received a special
honour for 'Innovation in Engagement Practice', and was runner up for the
'Giving something back' award. The innovation award recognised a unique
concept that was implemented this year called 'Qedis Families' - keeping the
closeness of a small, people focused firm as we continue our exceptional
growth.
"We've built a great business on the basis of always doing the right
thing - focusing on sound moral principles, our people and our clients. We
didn't go out to win a top place in the awards but it's great to be
recognised that we can be both commercially successful and make it a great
place for people to work, grow and have fun!" said Paramjit Uppal, CEO.
Qedis has always set itself apart by treating its people with trust,
integrity and honesty; an ethos we extend to our clients through our Next
Generation approach to Consulting. At the celebration event on Wednesday
night in Battersea Park Evolution, 20 Qedis people across all parts of the
business and grades enjoyed being recognised for all the exceptional
achievements.
These awards provide a clear differentiator: Qedis is the highest-ranked
management consulting firm in the list, has achieved 3-star accreditation and
is proud that our Next Generation approach to consulting is placing us in the
top 5 best small companies to work for in the country.
