The National Business Awards, sponsored by Orange, has announced that Instant Offices Group is one of only four companies to feature in the shortlist for its highly-competitive City & Guilds Employer of the Year category, for the South East region. The selection of Instant Offices Group for the shortlist recognises the company’s proven strengths in the provision of a stimulating and supportive workplace for its staff, the successful adoption of its company values at all levels of the organisation, and its commitment to the active development of all staff. City & Guilds, the sponsor of Employer of the Year category, is the UK's leading vocational awarding body and a household name in the UK.

Mike Faulkner, Group Director of The National Business Awards, said, "Instant Offices Group has achieved an enormous amount in making it to the finalist stage of the competition. The South East region stretches from Essex in the East, Kent in the South and up to Milton Keynes in the North – and of course engulfs Greater London. Reaching the final in this category shows a commitment to developing staff and the high value finalists place on employees. Everyone at The National Business Awards congratulates the whole team at Instant Offices Group for their commendable HR strategy."
