NBA 2006 Finalist N4 Solutions, a leading supplier of compliant point of sale technology to the UK financial services industry, has been selected as a finalist for both The Investors in People Outstanding Workplace of the Year Award and The AXA Small to Medium Sized Business of the Year Award in The National Business Awards.

The National Business Awards, sponsored by Orange are the UK's most prestigious and fellow finalists include the Royal Bank of Scotland, Saga Services, The Sheraton Grand Hotel Spa and Jaguar and Land Rover.

Steve Jones, CEO of N4, comments: We are delighted to be a finalist. We are proud of N4Solutions, which combines growing commercial success with a unique culture of innovation and customer service, alongside a strong and real commitment to the community in which we operate.

Judges for the Outstanding Workplace category looked for organisations that have achieved outstanding success or substantial performance improvement through the design and application of an outstanding workplace development strategy. At N4 every member of staff has his/her own development programme, which is reviewed periodically with their line or product manager. This programme includes core skill development activities as well as personal development and is integral to creating an outstanding working environment.

The AXA Small to Medium Sized Business of the Year Award was open to organisations with less than 10 million turnover in their last financial year and will go to the company that best demonstrates significant growth and innovation in its market sector, underpinned by strong financial performance. N4 has quickly become the leading strategic point of sale provider in the UK financial market with its unique software and approach. N4 has striven successfully to build itself into a thriving and innovative company that continues year-on-year to build on its existing client base and win new business.
