(PRWEB) September 9, 2005 -- This year's prestigious 118 Awards were held at The Lowry Hotel, Manchester City Centre. Hosted by the very funny Gina Yashere the best directory enquiries services in the world have been rightly rewarded. This year's Award entrants were treated to a champagne reception and mouth watering five course meal at Manchester's first five star hotel.

Entering a competitive market is a challenge in itself; entering a directory enquiries market that already has over 140 services available is also very brave.

This Award is open to directory assistance services that have launched during the last year. Judges looked for evidence of design & innovation, availability & usability, and financial performance.

This Award was very kindly sponsored and presented by Europe's largest independent directory enquiries provider, Conduit.

The nominations for the Best Newcomer Award were:

Daisy Communications
Responsa

The Awards judging panel was made up of experts in the market place and included representatives from The Pierz Group, Thomson Directories, Performance House, Lindley Consulting, Scansoft, Performix Technologies, Telecommunications Users Association, Volt Delta and 118tracker.com.

This organization has managed to launch a full range DQ service and also differentiate itself with its value for money proposition and a very unique brand representation.

The winner of this year's Best Newcomer Award is Daisy 118 101
