Aurecon - Aurecon rated one of the best professional services companies in Australia in BRW survey

15 February 2010

In a significant endorsement from its clients and the market, Aurecon has been nominated a finalist for the prestigious 2010 Australian Business Review Weekly (BRW) Client Choice Awards.

Aurecon is a finalist in the “Best consulting engineering firm, revenue over $200m” category.

The BRW Awards recognise those professional service companies that are perceived as outstanding service providers by clients.

“Despite the relatively short period of time since Aurecon was created and the challenging global economic climate of 2009, we have delivered for clients and this recognition from them is an outstanding achievement,” said Tony Barry, Chief Executive, Asia Pacific.

“This is the best indication yet that our “Think Client” strategy is working and that Aurecon is partnering with its clients and listening in a way that builds our client satisfaction. I’d like to congratulate our staff on this achievement.”

Mr Barry added, “I would also like to congratulate Beaton Consulting and BRW for undertaking this initiative which generates such invaluable client feedback and performance indicators for the professional services sector.”

Independently researched by Beaton Consulting, Aurecon’s clients were asked to rate the firm on a number of attributes including innovation, market leadership, value for money, client care and service quality.

The winners will be the professional service firms that achieve consistently higher client ratings than their competitors. The rankings are generated solely from independent assessment by clients. The winners will be announced on Wednesday 17 March 2010 at Sofitel Sydney.
