The winners of the inaugural UK IT Industry Awards were announced last night in front of a packed house at the Battersea Park Events Arena in London.
The new awards, combining the longstanding Computing Awards for Excellence and the BCS IT Industry Awards, were presented in front of more than 1,300 VIP guests. The show was hosted by comedian Sean Lock, who led the congratulations for all the winners.
The party afterwards was great – and the quality of the winners and the runner-up medallists was outstanding. The roll call of winners and medallists is shown below. To see all the shortlisted entries, visit our web site at www.computing.co.uk/awards.
David Clarke, chief executive of the BCS said: "This year's awards have been exceptional. To qualify as a finalist is terrific, to win is an absolutely fantastic achievement, and I offer my heartfelt congratulations to all those took part. They not only provide examples of best practice but also demonstrate how IT is enabling today's information society from entertainment to healthcare, manufacturing to retail."
Computing congratulates all those whose excellence and quality was
duly rewarded.
