BOSS Federation Announces Award Winners

The BOSS Federation has announced the winners of its 2010 Industry Awards in a night that celebrated and rewarded the best in industry.

The BOSS Industry Awards recognize and reward those in the office products industry who can demonstrate real excellence, either as individuals or through the successful performance of their business. The awards are seen as the premier industry event in the year.

The awards, the tenth to be staged by The BOSS Federation were held on earlier this month and one of the highlights of the evening was the announcement of outgoing BOSS Federation Chairman Alan Barclay of Vasanta Group as the winner of the Outstanding Achievement award, a perfect and fitting finale to his tenure in office.

The award was presented to Barclay by his past colleague Graeme Chapman, chairman of OFDA. BOSS Federation Chief Executive Michael Gardner paid tribute to his chairmanship of the federation and long-standing industry career, stating, "Alan has been a great supporter of the Industry and the BOSS Federation and he has left a great legacy in shaping and changing the Industry to meet the changing and challenging demands of modern day economics. I would like to personally thank him for his courage, determination and statesmanship in driving through these changes. "

On receiving his award, Barclay commented, "I am honored and proud to receive this prestigious award. We live in an age of remarkable and accelerating change which presents greater challenges to business management and serious complications to corporate strategic planning. I hope in my own way I have been able to support the BOSS Federation and the Industry through these difficult times."
