The ICFM awards are considered to be one of the most prestigious business honours globally, with nominations and research conducted by the ICFM team and winners selected on the basis of offering the best specialist advice to clients on a consistent basis.
According to Piet Faber, chief executive at ENS, the award is a significant achievement for the firm which operates on a unique business model whereby practitioners are encouraged to become specialists in their chosen area of expertise.
"Instead of recruiting a couple of dedicated practitioners operating within one or two niche areas, we have chosen to develop over 450 dedicated departments which each cater to a different specialist area. Moreover, within each of these departments there are teams of practitioners who have in-depth experience in one or more of the focus areas making up that specialisation," Faber says.
