Awards round-up: who’s won what?
Exco InTouch, the Nottingham-based leading provider of digital patient engagement and data capture solutions for clinical research and healthcare providers, has been recognised as the 6th fastest growing technology company in the North of England and Scotland in the 2016 Northern Tech Awards.
Exco InTouch was also presented with the Judges’ Award for International Success.
The award ceremony took place at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool with the Top 50 Fastest Growing Technology Companies ranked by revenue growth over the last three years.
Tim Davis, CEO and founder of Exco InTouch, was asked to present to the panel of judges which included Sir Terry Leahy, former CEO of Tesco and Richard Faulkner, head of technology, media and telecoms at Barclays. Out of the 50 companies, only five were selected for a special Judges’ Award.
Davis said: “We are honored to have won this award in recognition of our continued high growth and international achievement and are proud to be making a strong and sustained contribution towards the North’s business success story. Indeed, our sales have more than tripled over the course of the last three years and since then we have seen revenues continue to advance rapidly into 2016.”
Design engineering business BWB hopes to do the double in a national awards scheme which highlights best practice and outstanding talent in UK’s best engineering consulting firms.
BWB has been nominated for not one but two awards in the Consultancy and Engineering Awards 2016, the showcase awards scheme organised by the industry’s professional body, the Association for Consultancy and Engineering.
A total of 130 businesses from across the UK entered the awards, and BWB Consulting has been shortlisted in two out of the 10 categories – Best UK Business Performance for a Medium-Sized Firm, and Training Initiative of the Year.
The second award is one of a series of new categories intended to highlight the work of industry champions, and BWB’s nomination in the Training Initiative category comes only a few weeks after it secured the Gold standard from Investors in People, acknowledged as a benchmark of best practice in people development.
The two ACE Consultancy and Engineering Awards are the latest in a series of industry accolades that BWB has been nominated for. Chief Executive Steve Wooler said: “We’re delighted to have been nominated for two ACE awards. We face some tough competition but the fact that we’re through to the finals reflects a terrific amount of hard work by people across the business.”
BWB will find out if it has been successful at a prestigious gala dinner which takes place in London on 24 May.
