Speaking at the awards, Martyn Hart, commented, "These awards are a great way for industry professionals to come together and celebrate success in outsourcing. Outsourcing has remained relatively steady during 2009 despite the recession and this positive performance this should be acknowledged. Looking forward, 2010 promises to be an interesting year, with the predicted uptick in the private sector set against inevitable cost cutting throughout the public sector. Though nothing is set in stone, it remains clear that following best practice will continue to increase the possibility of outsourcing success, whether for business enhancement or business necessity."
