Qualfon, a mission-driven business process outsourcing (BPO) company and global provider of contact center services, received the 2016 Nexus Illuminate Company of the Year award from Nearshore Americas, a leading business media and research organization. The award was presented to Qualfon on May 11th during a special ceremony at the Nexus 2016 conference in San Francisco.

The Company of the Year award distinguishes organizations for remarkable achievements that foster the expansion of nearshore technology and business services. Qualfon was specifically recognized for its investments that have championed the BPO industry in the South American country of Guyana, for its 10-acre “green” contact center campus that created roughly 500 jobs this year in the capital city of Georgetown, and for the 31,000+ hours of service Qualfon employees provided to the local community in 2015. Officials from GO-Invest, Guyana’s investment promotion and liaison agency, made the nomination.

Qualfon’s dedication to its company mission—to making people’s lives better across Georgetown and Guyana—and not just bottom-line business is what brought us to this nomination. We look forward to many more years of partnership together.”

“Our mission is to be the best BPO. Make people's lives better. That mission is our starting point and our bottom line. This award is an affirmation of our mission, and we are extremely thankful for it,” said Doug Hoffschwelle, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Qualfon, as he accepted the award on behalf of the company.
