Recognising and Celebrating Excellence in North East Contact Centres
Welcome to the North East Contact Centre Awards, which recognises and rewards the achievements of individuals, teams and organisations. The Awards are an annual celebration of the people who have made North East Contact Centres among the best in the world.
We've now received all nominations for this year's awards, and we want to say good luck to all our nominees as the first round of judging gets underway. We're pleased to announce that this year we received over 100 entries across all 16 categories! For information on all of the awards, you can download our 'Categories and Criteria document'.
Now in its 17th Year, the 2021 programme will culminate in a glittering Awards ceremony at The Lancastrian Suite, Gateshead.
WHY ENTER?
The Awards present a fantastic opportunity to highlight the achievements of your team, benchmark your operation against other centres, raise the profile of your contact centre to a wide audience both in our region and across the UK - and demonstrate to your staff, customers and stakeholders that you are committed to achieving excellence.

WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY?
"Showcasing the Contact Centre industry in the North East is really important to us at Sage, especially as we are a company born in the North East. The NECCA awards are well organised and the judging process is one of the most robust I have experienced whilst also being enjoyable and supportive. It was rewarding to be able to showcase my achievements, and also those of my team whilst benchmarking them against other companies. For that reason alone it is worth taking part."
