NSA Ventures have been awarded the 2010 RBS Supplier Excellence Award for overall Vendor Contribution.

This recognition comes not only from RBS Group Sourcing and Vendor Management but also from the businesses across the RBS group and recognises the importance of building strong long term relationships with suppliers whilst including outstanding innovation and excellence. The programme is now in its eighth year and continues to be a fundamental part of the RBS improvement programme.

Each year, a few recipients are selected from the RBS Group’s worldwide supplier base as a result of their outstanding performance and continuous improvement in supplying materials, equipment and services to RBS. The RBS Supplier Performance Assessment forms the basis for this selection and enables the Group to engage with their suppliers as they continue their efforts to achieve supply chain excellence and maximise customer satisfaction.

Paul Donovan (Royal Bank of Scotland Group Sourcing & Vendor Management) Wrote:

“The year ahead will bring many opportunities as we continue on our journey of continuous improvement and operational excellence. Our suppliers continue to play a key role in this programme and we rely heavily on NSA Ventures commitment to excellence in the delivery of quality products and services to our customers.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the whole NSA organisation for a fantastic achievement recognised at the highest level within the entire Royal Bank of Scotland group. The NSA relationship makes RBS Group and indeed RBS Insurance very proud."
