Euler Hermes has been named Debt Collection Agency of the Year in the Institute of Credit Management (ICM) British Credit Awards and “Fastest Growing Credit Insurance Company in the United Arab Emirates (UAE)” by Global Banking and Finance Review. The ICM judges noted that “
Euler Hermes Collections was combining manpower and technology to great effect to improve customer communication and service” as well as “true innovation and dynamism, matched by tangible, documented results.”
Phil Mercer, head of Euler Hermes Collections UK, said “We are honored that our investments in processes and people have been recognized in these prestigious awards. It will also spur us on to find ever more ways to serve our client’s success.”
