Double nomination for Access at the Accountancy Age Awards

Colchester, UK - 08 September 2010 - Access, the mid-market consulting, software, and solutions provider, is celebrating today after receiving a double nomination in the Accountancy Age Awards 2010. The flagship business solution, Access Dimensions has been shortlisted for the 'Software Package of the Year Award', while Access' FD, Ian Little is recognised in the 'Financial Director of the Year: Growing Business' category.

The awards, which take place at a black tie ceremony in London on the 17^th November, recognise outstanding work in business, practice, and technology with a judging panel that includes some of the most respected people in the accountancy profession. Chris Bayne, managing director for Access UK and Ireland, says, "Having won the software award for the past two years, it was a mixture of surprise and delight when we found out that Access Dimensions is once again shortlisted. This award nomination is based on customer testimonial - so to be shortlisted shows that we offer a functional, reliable solution that is highly rated by top level financial directors.

"Congratulations also to our FD, Ian Little," continued Chris. "He's been a driving force behind Access as the company continues to grow. Ian's helped steer us through the tough economic climate, ensuring the company finances are in shape, and that we're on target to reach our goal of becoming a £100 million turnover company by 2017."

If Access wins either award, it will cap an amazing year for the mid-market business and accounting solutions provider. The firm has already won 'Environmental Accounting Software of the Year' at the Green IT Awards, and 'CRM Partner of the Year' at the FrontRange Partner Awards. In addition, Access has also been shortlisted in three categories in the Sift Media Software Satisfaction Awards; the awards ceremony will take place next month.
