presented Charles Cousins, Managing Director of Sophos Asia, with
the award. |
Sophos, a world leader in protecting businesses against viruses
and spam, has been awarded the British Business Award for
Information Computing and Telecommunications by the British Chamber
of Commerce in Singapore.
"Achieving a 20-fold growth in revenue in 3 years deserves
celebration and recognition," said Jonathan Asherson, President of
the British Chamber of Commerce, as Sophos's award was
announced.
"This is a great honour for Sophos Asia, but more importantly
it's public recognition of the success that Sophos's professional
team in Asia has achieved in the last 3 years," said Charles
Cousins, managing director of Sophos Asia who received the award
from HRH Prince Andrew. "This award underlines that Sophos is an
increasingly important player in the Asian market, offering
world-leading products renowned for their reliability and high
quality."
Previously known as the SME Awards, the British Business awards
aim to serve as a vehicle for the promotion of successful
British-linked companies. The expansion of the awards programme in
the Chamber's 50th Anniversary Year is particularly significant and
underlines one of the Chamber's key missions - which is to expand
trade links between Singapore and Britain.
There are over 700 British companies in Singapore, and many more
with strong British connections. Nominations for the awards were
sought from all kinds of business entity. While growth, turnover
and investments were important criteria, finalists were also judged
on the less quantifiable contributions such as the development and
training of employees, management skills, human capital and
after-sales service.
