kwak Telecom has been named a National Champion for Cyprus in The European Business Awards, sponsored by RSM; Europe’s largest business competition established to celebrate business excellence and best practice in the European business community.
The Awards, now in their 10th year, are supported by business leaders, academics and political representatives from across Europe, and this year engaged with over 33,000 businesses from 34 countries.
kwak Telecom was chosen after the first round of judging by an independent panel. kwak Telecom was evaluated on the core EBA values of innovation, ethics and success and will now go through to the second stage of the competition, which includes a video and a public vote.
Josef Bruckschlögl, CEO of kwak Telecom said: “We’re very proud to be selected to represent Cyprus as a National Champion. The European Business Awards are widely recognized as the showcase for Europe’s most dynamic companies and we are proud to be recognized at this level.”
Adrian Tripp, CEO of the European Business Awards said: “Congratulations to Josed Bruckschlögl and kwak Telecom who have been selected to represent their country as National Champions. They are central to the success of Europe’s strong business community, and have shown the core principles we look for: innovation, ethics and success.”
The next round requires the National Champions to make a presentation video, telling their unique story and explaining their business success. The Awards’ independent judges will award the best of this group the ‘Ruban d’Honneur’ status and the selected companies will then go on to the Gala Final in 2017.
Separately, in a two stage public vote, the videos will be hosted on the European Business Awards website, and the company that receives the most votes in their country will become the ‘National Public Champion’. Last year over 227,000 votes were cast as companies were supported globally by their clients, staff and peers, as well as the general public.
