The MCA's two previous awards initiatives, the Management Awards and the Consultant of the Year Awards, have joined together to become the 2011 MCA Awards: the winning entries for both outstanding projects and individual consultants will be celebrated at a single ceremony.

As the benchmark for quality within the consulting industry, the awards are the perfect way to demonstrate the value of consulting - to clients and the wider economy. The 2011 Awards will recognise the industry's best projects and individuals. The winners will be announced at a black tie awards ceremony in April 2011.

The MCA Awards are decided by an independent judging panel that boasts a wealth of experience and expertise, spanning the full spectrum of business areas. Entries will be judged on the value they created. A rigorous two-stage judging process ensures that only the best can win.

Alan Leaman, Chief Executive of the MCA commented:
"The MCA is working with even greater determination to show the value of management consulting to business, the public sector and the economy as a whole - particularly during this time of economic uncertainty. The MCA Awards play an important role in this, demonstrating the tangible value of consulting through real-life examples and case studies. After the success of the awards in 2010, I anticipate that the 2011 awards will be even more competitive. The challenge is now on for consulting firms and individual consultants to prove that they deliver more than their competition."
