Cabot Credit Management Swoops Two Industry Awards

1 October 2015 - Cabot Credit Management Group, a leading acquirer and manager of consumer debt, has won two awards at this year's Credit Excellence awards hosted by Credit, Collections and Risk (CCR).

Cabot Credit Management was awarded the Credit Excellence Award for Compliance.

Mortimer Clarke Solicitors, a law firm within the Group, received the Credit Excellence Award in the Legal and Enforcement Profession.

Presenting the Legal and Enforcement Profession award judge Alessia Frisina, senior corporate counsel, Cisco Systems said: "All applicants were impressive and we found it difficult to decide - after an additional round of questions, we felt that one of them showed a clearer approach to enforcement and were spot on, on the questions asked. For this reason, we have decided that the first place should go to Mortimer Clarke Solicitors."

Gail Armstrong, credit operations manager, Siemens, who was on the judging panel for the compliance award, said: "The winners put together the strongest application based on a level of employee involvement which went beyond the rest and included a number of interesting initiatives."

Ken Stannard, CEO, Cabot Credit Management said: "We are extremely proud of winning both the compliance and legal enforcement awards at this year's Credit Excellence awards. These demonstrate our level of professionalism and highlights our commitment to putting the customer at the forefront of our business and ensuring we give them an excellent level of service whilst working within the regulatory framework."

The event, which has now been running for six years, was held on 6th October at the Guoman Tower Hotel in London and was attended by over 400 industry professionals.
