“The best thing in life for me is to do something I love with all my heart and dedication. I love the CCC company, my challenging tasks, the very exciting call center branch, our clients and partners and above all the heart of every call center – our employees. I really wanted to take this award home, as a sign, a thank you and as a respectful recognition of the many wonderful services that have made this award possible. I am especially delighted that the dedication, service, competence and passion of every single CCC employee is rewarded. This award conjures such a proud smile on the faces of our employees.
