The Consortium: Winner of the ERA Award 2005!
21st March 2005
The Consortium, the award-winning, national procurement and fulfilment company is thrilled to announce their new title as Winner of the Educational Resources Supplier of the Year 2005 Award, organised by Nexus Media Limited and British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA). Having been short-listed for the second year in succession for this impressive award, The Consortium's directors and staff were overjoyed when it was announced that it was the winner for 2005 alongside Espresso Education.
The Consortium had been entered into the "companies with over £3million annual turnover" category. The Education Resources Awards highlight excellent educational establishments and the most dedicated members of the teaching profession and supplies industry. The Consortium outshone its competitors, exceeding the criteria to provide educational establishments with a diversity of high-quality, safe products, appropriate to their every day teaching needs. As well as offering all of these, The Consortium provides outstanding customer service.
With more than 30,000 quality products and services, (including an impressive variety of educational resources, such as BBC audio books and its range of curriculum support materials for both students and teachers), it is not surprising that, during the evening of Friday 18th March, 2005 at the Birmingham NEC, The Consortium were the ones to walk away with the national ERA Award.
Jeff Gould, Chief Executive comments: "It is an exciting time for all of us here at The Consortium. We are all extremely excited to have won this award. It is fantastic to have the hard work and efforts of our committed team recognised and celebrated in this way. The awards ceremony was thoroughly enjoyable, such an excellent experience to meet and compete against other highly recognised suppliers in the educational sector."
