  • Identifying Candidates: The awards team conduct extensive research to identify the major cities and regions around the world with a vibrant SME community and independent scene. They believe that SME businesses are the backbone of any economy, whilst also typically reflecting the unique characteristics of its particular city or region. Osmaan Mahmood, Founder & CEO of Prestige Awards, said: “although small businesses may not be able to compete with multinational companies on their size and scale, there is a personalised service-driven focus that is often void from large organisations.”

All shortlisted companies put forward in the Prestige Awards are asked to support their nomination with evidence of their work, positive feedback from their clients, information on previous accreditation and recognition as well as highlighting the most outstanding parts of their businesses.

ABOUT DEILIGHT CONSULTING

The Coca-Cola company makes Coca-Cola. Always has. Always will

But surviving life often requires us all to (a) know a bit of everything, and (b) regularly change our goals, skills, knowledge and focus tasks. Like any being, our firm can be a consumer, manufacturer, auditor, supplier, regulator, think tank, consultant, opposition or ally. People change all the time, so why not firms too? After all, science, philosophy and complex interconnected global ‘Wicked Problems’ don’t fit into fixed rigid boxes. Multidisciplinary as they are - like every aspect of reality and real life - they transcend labels. To understand them, so must we.

A ‘consultancy’ of sorts, but one underpinned by niche capabilities, multiple world records and breakthrough science, our unique firm is unlike any other on Earth or in history.

Some sell products, we fulfill hopes and dreams. Some target difference, we value uniqueness. Some deliver services, we create change. Some use words, we take action. Some blame others. We blame hatred. Some have egos, we espouse confidence. Some plead ignorance, we exhibit wisdom. Some have a perspective, we see everything. Some are unconsciously biased, we are fully conscious. Some help themselves, we help others first

Pioneering a rare new sector - a ‘Change Engine’ - in theory this model lets us perform any task, solve any problem, answer any question or create anything imaginable.

Humanity’s first example of a ‘Clarketech’ industry, a concept defined by Arthur C Clarke, (i) we can literally do anything, which (ii) seems to some almost like magic.

For any issue you face, any creation you imagine or difference you're making, we use science, true leadership, authentication and uniqueness to ensure you survive and thrive like never before.

Turning dreams into reality, no one else can create meaningful change like we do.
