LONDON, March 11, 2011 - During its highs and lows, the global economy of the past decade has
shown favour to those who have adopted conservative strategies, and crushed
those who have been reckless. The World Finance Company of the Decade awards
represents an accolade for companies that have performed exceptionally and
proven themselves as dynamic forces in their industry. Not only has the
operation of these businesses been of superlative quality, but their
reputation for excellence has brought admiration from their respective
industries and made them an enviable employer. Crucially, the quality of
service to customers has been of the highest standard - and in most cases
continually developing these relationships and methods of delivery remain a
top priority. World Finance is proud to reflect on the success of these
companies over the past 10 years, and we await what the next 10 will bring
for them.
