Salford’s Mason Advisory enjoyed a successful evening at the Management Consultancies Association Awards (MCA) scooping the award for Best New Consultancy and being highly commended in the strategy category for its work with a global engineering firm.
The Best New Consultancy award acknowledges the business’ client focus, delivery excellence, commitment to their people, and operational high standards. In the Strategy category, the company demonstrated a major contribution to its client’s strategic plans and approach, by improving delivery of technology, driving better value and supporting the company’s business objectives and strategic goals.
The MCA revealed that competition was tougher than ever as entries were up by 72% this year compared to 2020 – a record number of entrants.
Steve Watmough, Mason Advisory CEO, says: “We’re delighted with both these prestigious accolades, it’s a testament to the outstanding work we have delivered and the high calibre of consultants in our team, who are really driving our business forward and producing quality results and solutions for our clients.
“It’s a real privilege for us to be recognised alongside heavyweight industry players and we know we faced tough competition.”
The MCA Awards have been an important industry event in the UK consulting calendar for 24 years and demonstrate the true value of consulting to both the public and private sector. They are the benchmark for quality within the sector, attracting the very best submissions and celebrating high quality results.
Commenting on the 2021 edition, Tamzen Isacsson, Chief Executive of the MCA, said, “So many of the entries tell of the ingenuity, commitment and skill of our consultants which makes us a world leading industry. And so many show how the consultancy sector responded to the Covid-19 pandemic. The ability to deliver more services remotely released talent around the country and saw those talents being used not just in this country but around the globe. The faith clients have shown in the consulting sector in the most difficult of times has been vital.”
On presenting the Best New Consultancy Award, Tamzen congratulated the team for building trusted relationships with clients and for its focus on wellbeing, which is important now more than ever.
