Second win for its legal arm, Mortimer Clarke Solicitors
Cabot Credit Management, a market leader in European Credit Management, has won two awards at the industry renowned Credit Excellence event – one for Best Use of Technology in conjunction with CallMiner and the other for the Best Law Firm. This is the second time that its legal arm, Mortimer Clarke Solicitors, has won this award against tough competition.
The judges for the legal award said: “The majority of the panel felt the submission, in terms of content, quality and presentation, was the superior one, most closely aligned to the judging criteria, and best led the judges on the journey that the winners have gone through. Hence their deserved success in this category.”
The panel of judges for the technology award, which was a joint entry with Cabot Credit Management and CallMiner, commented: “The winning entry demonstrated strong evidence of customer benefits, particularly in respect of vulnerable customers. It is an excellent example of the use of technology to enhance the capabilities of individuals in real time, to the benefit of customers. The staff initiative to further utilise this technology to bring back-office and front-office capabilities together further strengthened this entry.”
Ken Stannard, CEO, CCM, said, “We are delighted to have secured two awards at this renowned industry event. It continues to demonstrate our level of professionalism from our legal team and also how we are embracing technology to enhance the ability of our teams on the ground. We always strive to put the customer at the heart of our business and to make their journey with us as seamless as possible. It is great to be recognised for our achievements in both these areas.”
Sandra Bayne, Solicitor and Compliance Officer for Mortimer Clarke Solicitors, added: “We were delighted to win this award and believe that our new customer satisfaction measurement tool played a significant part in our win and are very proud of the fantastic and useful feedback which we have received through this tool. We believe that we are leading the way in litigation recoveries, through this and other innovative approaches.”
