Today it has been announced that De La Rue has been awarded the accolade of ‘Currency Services Provider of the Year’ at the annual Central Banking awards.
The awards are designed to recognise excellence in the central banking community and their partners, and are now in their sixth year. The panel of judges is made up of the Central Banking Editorial Team and an Editorial Advisory Board, who are all former central bankers from around the world.
Christopher Jeffery, Chairman of the Central Banking Awards Committee and Editor-in-chief of Central Banking, said: “The past 18 months have been busy for De La Rue, as it has secured new clients and transformed its focus towards technology, while continuing to produce market-leading banknotes for the world’s central banks.”
Commenting about the award, Martin Sutherland, chief executive of De La Rue, said: “We have worked really hard this year to deliver the very best banknote service we can for all our customers, and I am delighted that our achievements have been recognised through this award. We have delivered innovative new services, launched 20 currency designs and six features, as well as increasing our polymer offering. By continuing to invest in the business, I believe we will be at the forefront of innovation for years to come and we have an exciting future ahead.”
