Sutherland Bpo Is The Fastest Growing Company In Its Sector
The 4th Annual International ICT Awards Philippines 2010 recently gave recognition to the Philippine site of Sutherland Global Services, a leading New York-based multinational Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) provider operating in the country since 2005, as the industry’s “Fastest Growing BPO Company of the Year”. Sutherland was also one of the five finalists in the category “BPO Company of the Year”.
The award is seen as recognition of Sutherland’s accelerated expansion in six sites across the country and its generation of sizeable local employment opportunities, benefiting more than 10,000 Filipinos in less than five years. Sutherland’s expansion in the Philippines has been fuelled by continued growth in the company’s existing outsourcing engagements as well as the addition of several new clients.
“Our company is truly humbled and grateful but this award really belongs to our Filipino workforce who continue to amaze us every day with their honest and hardworking ways,” said Craig Bauwens, Sutherland vice president and Philippines country manager who received the award during the recently concluded awarding ceremonies held at Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati together with Emily Magtibay, Sutherland’s first employee in the Philippines.
Dilip Vellodi, Sutherland chairman and CEO, in a press statement said that the company’s rapid growth in the Philippines can be attributed to “our relentless focus on offering the best in class integrated services to our global clients combined with delivering measurable results which have become the key differentiators for Sutherland. Since our launch in 2005, our operations in the Philippines have become a strategic component of our global service delivery model. The country’s favorable economic environment, business friendly government policies and above all, the technically skilled and committed workforce have been the driving forces in our ability to rapidly scale our operations across several locations in the country.”
Business Processing Association of the Philippines CEO Oscar Sanez credits Sutherland with its “strong quality processes that Sutherland has institutionalized across its global locations that has enabled the company to achieve this kind of rapid growth over a short period of time. We congratulate Sutherland on their achievement and it is our hope that the company will continue to expand their presence, providing more employment opportunities to the talented work force in the country.” Source
