The prestigious Sage "Circle of Excellence" award was presented to Pinnacle at the Annual Sage Business Partner conference ‘Sage Visions' held at The Sage Gateshead & The Baltic in Newcastle on the 5th November.

This is the third year that Pinnacle has scooped the award, an accomplishment that few Sage Business Partner in the region have achieved. The award was granted to Pinnacle on the basis of its high levels of customer service to its 900+ nationwide customer base.

Sage, a leading provider of business software and services, introduced the concept of a "Circle of Excellence" four years ago in order to recognise and reward the Business Partners who provide outstanding customer service and whose customers are the most likely to recommend them to friends and colleagues. This is the 3^rd year that Pinnacle has scooped the accolade.

On presenting the award to Pinnacle, Paul Stobart, CEO, UK and Ireland Region, Sage (UK) Limited, states, "I'm delighted to present this award to Pinnacle. Today's competitive climate means that it is more important than ever for UK businesses to stay close to their customers and deliver an outstanding service, so my congratulations go to all involved."

James Spencer, MD of Pinnacle Computing, was delighted to receive the award. James comments,

"The ultimate measurement of any business's customer service is the extent to which its customers are prepared to recommend them. This accolade recognises our efforts as a customer service led business management solution provider as viewed by our customers. To win this prestigious award for a third year demonstrates consistency in the delivery of the highest quality services to our Sage customers. This re-iterates the level of priority and attention Pinnacle put into achieving excellent customer service".

Pinnacle has attracted a diverse customer base across many industry sectors, including business services, manufacturing, distribution and construction, each of which has unique business requirements and demands. Pinnacle has maintained its position in the Circle of Excellence through continuous improved performance in terms of communicating with and responding to customers more effectively.

"It's our aim to respond to our customer needs quickly, while providing proactive service and results delivered by a talented and highly energised team. All the staff across the Pinnacle group work hard to offer customers second to none customer service and we are determined to maintain our position in the Circle of Excellence in 2009 and beyond" concluded Spencer.
