UK Power Networks<\/a> triumphed at the European Contact Centre and Customer Service Awards (ECCCSA) in London this week, beating many household names to win the Large Contact Centre of the year category, plus the silver award for most effective management of peak demand in partnership with Content Guru.<\/p>\nThese are considered the \u2018Oscars\u2019 of the call centre industry,\u00a0attended by 1,200 people from 32 different countries.<\/p>\n
The ECCCSA judges said: \u201cEvery day 20 million people rely on UK Power Networks\u2019 contact centre for support when power cables are damaged and disruptions occur. They have generated a world-class service culture in which their customers feel heard, empowered and valued.<\/p>\n

They loved this inspiring, passionate, engaged team and their desire to keep pushing themselves to deliver a constantly improving customer experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
