N4Solutions is Winner of The Citizen & Gloucestershire Echo Business Awards
2006
Contribution to the Community Award
N4Solutions, a leading technology company for the UK financial services industry
based in Poulton near Cirencester, has won the Contribution to the Community
category for the The Citizen & Gloucestershire Echo Business Awards,
sponsored by the South West of England Regional Development Agency.
Steve Jones, CEO, N4 comments, "We are thrilled to have won. We are extremely proud
of N4, which has a sense of community at the core of the business. We believe that
charitable giving and activities can be combined with business success and add a
greater sense of purpose to an organisation."
Judges for the Contribution to the Community Award were looking
for a company, which has made a significant contribution to the community in which
it operates. N4 was selected as a winner because it "puts its money where its mouth
is" when it comes to social responsibility.
Founded in 1999, N4 now turns over more than £5 million a year, providing
multi-channel point-of-sale systems for the financial services sector. Its 50 employees
have raised 10s of thousands of pounds for the National Star College and provide
its severely disabled students with experience of real work, whilst Steve Jones,
N4?s CEO, spends two days a month assisting the College with fundraising.
N4 also recently received The Gold Award from the Home Secretary,
which is a symbol of excellence and is awarded to employers that have succeeded
in generating sustainable income sources for UK charities through Payroll Giving.
The winners of the Citizen & Gloucestershire Echo Business Awards
were announced at the Awards Presentation Dinner held at The Centaur, Cheltenham
Racecourse.
