The prestigious accreditation is awarded to the company which, according to the Institute's Awards Committee, has contributed most significantly to the automotive industry through expertise in the provision of IT and consultancy services. As a company which shines through with a global presence and an in-depth understanding of customer needs, the Committee was left in no doubt that CHP merited the accreditation.

Patrick Sheedy, Media & PR Director of the ITM, said of the accreditation: "The transport industry is going through radical change and many companies are depending more and more on technological solutions to help manage their ledgers. Through the course of our research in this arena, CHP Consulting demonstrated the ability to provide the decision maker with the data necessary to increase productivity, competitiveness and profitability.

"During the course of our research, we found that the company offers a consistently high standard of excellence throughout its range of products and services. CHP's principal competitive differentiator is its proven ability to work on complex and challenging assignments in the automotive sector, on a global basis if required, from initial strategy development through to implementation and full operation. This start-to-finish capability across a wide spectrum of service offerings sets the company apart from its competitors.”

Andrew Denton, CHP Consulting's Sales and Marketing Director, said: "Vehicle finance is a highly strategic market for us and has been a focus for our investment and innovation in recent years. We're proud of our product, service delivery record and depth of experience within this sector and we're delighted that this has been recognised by the Institute of Transport Management."

In the transport industry, CHP Consulting can call upon its vast experience of undertaking consultancy projects and system implementations, both for dedicated automotive finance companies and large finance corporations in possession of a vehicle fleet subdivision. The ITM Awards Committee singled out the ALFA Automotive Solution for special mention: It features an integrated workflow system which is flexible enough to serve fleets ranging from single units to thousands of vehicles, enabling the identification of optimal processes in any section of the fleet market.
