The achievement was announced at a huge Awards Gala evening at the NEC Metropole, attended by in excess of 1200 industry dignitaries.
GoResponse had been shortlisted to a group of six, with noble competition from in-house and outsourced call centre service providers, and came a very respectable runner up to the category winners - the Northern Counties Housing Association, who have a magnificent multi-million pound facility in Oldham.
This still resulted in GoResponse being the top outsourced call centre service provider in it's category.
The shortlist on the night was -
- GoResponse Ltd, Sittingbourne
- Northern Counties Housing Association, Oldham

The recognition was as a result of a 4 hour visit to each of the shortlisted centres by two judges who were leading experts in the call centre industry.
Perhaps the best compliment is the decision by one of the judges, Keith Gait of Orchid Consulting deciding to become a client of GoResponse (after judges final submissions had been completed for the category!). He also kindly informed us this was following a two year search for a perfect outsourced provider to work with!
