Servcorp wins NSW Export Awards 2012

Huge congratulations to Servcorp for winning the Large Services Award at the 50th NSW Premier's Export Awards 2012!

The award tops off a wonderful year for Servcorp, as it introduces new services and continues its strong overseas expansion, adding 18 new cities and four new floors to its global portfolio of Serviced and Virtual offices.

The Large Services Award recognises outstanding export achievement by established companies with annual sales of $15 million and more. 2012 saw a very high standard of competition, with Servcorp beating renowned companies including Macquarie Group, Pactel International, The Trust Company and W E Smith Engineering to win the award.

Servcorp COO Marcus Moufarrige says the win is recognition of Servcorp as an Australian and global success story, and of having the courage to invest and expand throughout the recent downturn.

"At Servcorp, we not only export our own services, but we empower other Australian businesses to export theirs, by providing them with the advanced infrastructure, support and presence of a multinational organisation without the financial investment or risk," Marcus says.
