Innovation meets impact: a bold vision for UK immigration
The judges were impressed by their innovation, “The turnarounds of immigration cases are impressive and will be groundbreaking for companies who need to deploy staff quickly overseas. 24-hour responses with a guarantee of a discount if they fail is a clever approach and an attractive proposition.”The judges were impressed by some excellent examples of cost savings achieved by opening Indian operations, which were part of their success story. WhatsApp communications were also seen as a refreshing alternative to typical 3-day turnaround responses via email.Culture, commitment and career growth drive success
Leveraging technology through various digital media platforms and AI was innovative and resourceful..“With excellent customer support and the effective use of technology to enhance service speed and delivery, along with a strong emphasis on staff career development, this firm has a very bright future. It is recognised as a leading expert in UK immigration”, the judges concluded.The significant growth in the company, along with a paternalistic approach to the organisation’s culture (including a 30% increase in employee satisfaction) and staff development, was evidenced in the submission.One judge commented, “ I absolutely loved the submission video – AY&J’s passion for radical change, striving for innovation and career opportunities for all their staff provides a very compelling story and competitive edge in the immigration industry”.See the Winners Announced Page
