Young local web company wins Regional Chamber of Commerce Award

(LEICESTER,UK. DEC 13) Michael Associates Ltd has recently been announced as the regional winner of the Microsoft Award for Impact of Technology on their Business in the East Midlands for the Chamber Awards 2007.

Michael Cheung, Creative Director of Michael Associates Ltd said, “It’s been great to receive this award and it means a lot to Michael Associates to be recognised by the Chamber in this way. I have to admit we were a little surprised at our win, we use Instant Messaging Systems for the team to keep in touch as we often work remotely, as well as utilising them with clients to assist communication during the completion of projects. But as they say the simplest ideas are often the best and the impact IMS has had on our internal and external communications has been colossal.”

Simon Hughes, Director, SME Business at Microsoft UK said; “As organisations grow, the adoption of technology becomes a pre-requisite to a successful business and a fundamental part of business life. We are proud to celebrate the best of these projects through the BCC Best use of Technology Award.”

Peter Mileham, President of the BCC, commended Michael Associates saying; “Technology touches all businesses. It is often the difference between success and failure. Michael Associates Ltd has really made technology work and this in turn has had a profound effect on their success.”

The regional awards success saw Michael Associates Ltd go through to next judging stage where the National Winners of the Chamber Awards 2007 were announced at a Gala Dinner at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London on the 29th November 2007 by presenters George Alagiah and Helene Hunt.

Although the team had a fantastic evening at the National Awards, regrettably Michael Associates lost out on the National Award this year, ….but watch this space in 2008 with their new digital publishing services.
