Leading service company Serco won a European Business Award last night in the UK heats of the international awards competition. Serco was selected as winner in the Growth category for larger companies, recognised for its achievements in maintaining a compound growth rate of over 25% over the last 18 years.

The awards seek to recognise publicly those companies that serve as corporate ambassadors of the UK and which display the potential to become leaders in their fields, in the UK and globally.

Chris Hyman, Serco Group Chief Executive said: “This is a great tribute to the 47,000 Serco people in 37 countries who work hard to constantly improve the services they provide on behalf of governments, public bodies and private companies. Our success is founded on the long term partnerships we develop with our clients and the public service ethos we share with them. 

“The UK has led in pursuing the benefits of private sector involvement in public services. This has paved the way for companies like Serco to share those benefits with countries in Europe, the Middle East, North America and Australasia.”
