Managing Director of Commercial Credit Management Ltd, Steve Murray, was voted ICM08’s Credit Personality of the Year Award. The criteria for nominations read: "Recognising that credit managers are people too, this award reflects the nominee’s contribution to society and life in general. Nominated individuals should be able to demonstrate a significant contribution to society, through charitable efforts, or significant personal achievement against the odds." Unbeknown to Steve, he was nominated by his staff which he feels is a major award in itself. Since 2003, Steve has raised over £25,000 for two local charities, Claire House Children’s Hospice and Zoë’s Place Baby Hospice. Steve has also had his fair share of illnesses including a brush with Cancer but has still managed to grow the business by 250% in the last 3 years. Steve said “it was a very proud moment. I’ve always strived to do my best and help out where I can, but to have this acknowledged by such a panel of prestigious judges is a real achievement, but I also know that there may be other people in our industry who have done more than me or had much bigger challenges to face. I just hope that someone acknowledges those people and nominates them for next year’s award.”
