APCO Named European Consultancy of the YearVote of Peers and Clients Name APCO Number OneLondon (July 25, 2005) - APCO Worldwide, the fourth largest global independent public affairs and communication consultancy, is named European Consultancy of the Year by Public Affairs News, a well-known public affairs industry publication. Known for setting industry standards throughout its 20 year history, this award follows other significant industry recognition for the company and its management earlier this year, including Public Affairs Agency of the Year in the United States by The Holmes Report and PR Week's (U.S. edition) PR Professional of the Year for APCO's CEO, Margery Kraus. Brad Staples, CEO of APCO's operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa said: "I am very proud to collect this award on behalf of the whole team at APCO. This win is a testament to the extraordinary effort that is put in by colleagues across the region every day. This recognition is especially meaningful to us because it is a vote of our peers and clients, which is the strongest possible endorsement of our reputation in the marketplace across Europe." APCO was nominated for the award by Stefan Lorentzson of Volvo, and a judging panel at Public Affairs News drew up the shortlist of European consultancies which also included Hill & Knowlton and Interel. The shortlist was then voted upon by subscribers of Public Affairs News. APCO has been singled out for its consistent work and strategic efforts on behalf of clients. These efforts have led to a 24 percent average annual growth over the past 10 years. Most recently, APCO defied industry trends towards consolidation with a management buyout that has opened up an opportunity for employees to hold a vital stake in the future of the company.
