Keoghs Receives Top Award in Professional Services Sector - 07/10/2005

Staff at Keoghs are celebrating receiving the accolade of “Best Brand in Practice” in the MPF 2005 European Practice Management Awards, held at the Savoy in London on 4 October 2005.

The Best Brand in Practice Award is awarded to a firm that can demonstrate that its brand values are distinct, relevant to clients and are being delivered consistently.

Keoghs fought off strong competition from other firms. They were up against law firms Eversheds, Berwin Leighton Paisner and Forbes, accountancy firm Tenons, and international law firm Vinson & Elkins .

Keoghs received this award in recognition of “aiming high with its challenging goals in terms of brand implementation and communication of brand values and finding some practical answers to achieve its goals.

Customer satisfaction is derived from employee satisfaction and Keoghs has shown through a variety of mediums that ‘team’ really is the key to success. It was able to demonstrate authentically that its will to push ‘heaven and earth’ for clients is not only mere words but a promise.

Client perceptions show that Keoghs has managed very successfully to transport its core values through corporate behaviour”.

Tim Percival, Business Development Director comments

“We are thrilled to win this award. To be recognised as the “best brand in practice” is a real achievement and has been the result of many years work. We are really proud of the staff here who are “living the values”. We wouldn’t have reached this position without their hard work and dedication. It is also a tribute to the leadership of Paul Smith, CEO of Keoghs, who has recently stepped down after nearly five years in the role”.

The calibre of the entrants is always incredibly high for these awards. The entries are judged by a distinguished panel of some 30 experts led by leading professional services practice management consultant Alan Hodgart.
