The third annual IB Consulting Awards took place on 3 December 2009 at the Langham Hotel in London.  This event celebrates success and clearly demonstrates the value that IBC members deliver for the clients in both public and private sector.

Presenting the evening, IBC director Lynda Purser reflected on how far the Awards had come: “There’s also been a 50 per cent increase in applications, which is encouraging—but we want even more next year.”

Purser also too used this opportunity to thank the event’s sponsors:  headline sponsor insurance brokers Bannerman Rendell, who is the leading supplier of discounted insurance products to IBC members; and Ernst & Young, who supported the Best International Project, and online consultancy “marketplace” Skillfair, who supported IBC Management Consultant of the Year awards respectively.

Purser also extended her thanks to Brian Ing for shouldering the responsibility of chairing the International Council of Management Consulting Institutes for the last two years.  Finally she thanked outgoing IBC Chairman, Alan Downey: “He’s been an exceptional Chairman, unstinting in his support of IBC” she said. “His authority and depth of knowledge have positioned IBC more strongly in the market.”  Downey also became the first recipient of the Mastery level CMC (Certified Management Consultant) award, a new grade of CMC aimed specifically at senior consultants.
