Birmingham-based full service agency, Big Cat group has this month been awarded two prestigious industry awards having achieved 96.5% in its Consultancy Management Standard (CMS) audit and also the renewal of it Investors in People standard following the launch of Big Cat Europe in summer 2010.

The CMS audit is an internationally recognised programme run by the public relations professional body, PRCA. The industry standard is an assurance to clients that firms adhere to strict quality standards in management, communication and service delivery.

Investors In People, which Big Cat also received an outstanding score in, aims to transform an organisations performance by targeting chosen business practices across departments. With Big Cat's expansion into Europe this standard was vital to ensure all offices, across the continent continued to work towards the same goals and business growth.

Nick Morgan, CEO of Big Cat Europe said: "We're overjoyed to have not only been awarded a gold standard for our CMS audit but also the renewal of our Investors In People. We at Big Cat are continually evolving our processes, ensuring that clients receive the highest quality of service across all departments. The audits prove that we are passionate about our work and strive to achieve the best results, both quickly and effectively.

Francis Ingham, Chief Executive of the PRCA said: "Well run businesses consistently deliver the results clients are looking for. The Consultancy Management Standard was developed specifically to ensure that PRCA members have the systems and structures in place to meet and exceed clients' expectations. The standard has been so successful that it has now been adopted in 11 countries around the world."
