The award organisers commented that the standard of entries this year was truly outstanding, with entrants demonstrating their commitment to meeting and exceeding the high standards and expectations placed on them by their customers and proving – if proof were still needed – that IT is truly the powerhouse of the economic recovery.

The judging panel noted: “The entries were exceptionally strong this year, with most containing solid customer and channel references to back up claims of excellence. There were also signs of the transition in the industry towards managed services, with channel providers using that approach to the market popping up in most categories.”

Martin Flick, Chief Executive, Olive, said: “This award win is testament to the hard work and dedication of all of the staff at Olive. We’ve grown rapidly and profitably over the past year, and we believe we’re building a business designed to help our customers harness technology to reach their true potential.
