The UK IT Industry Awards went off with a bang, and here are all the individuals and organisations who won big on the night

The UK IT Industry Awards 2017 were a huge success, with thousands of IT professionals celebrating the very best of the industry.

With a wide variety of organisations present from every sector, the glittering event lived up to its billing as the number one event in UK IT.

Opening the evening, Computing's editorial director Stuart Sumner remarked on the high quality of entries across the board.

"The levels of talent and innovation that we have seen in the many wonderful entries to these awards was a genuine thrill this year, and I know I can speak for all the judges in saying that it was a real pleasure judging these awards," said Sumner. "Between us we have seen hundreds of incredible projects, teams and individuals, and as ever, the hardest part has been to choose a winner in each category from so many deserving entries," he added.

Co-hosting was Paul Fletcher, group chief executive officer of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT.

"Sitting in on the judging panel you can't help but be impressed by, not only the range and breadth of the shortlisted entries, but also, as ever, by their excellence," said Fletcher. "The entries covered every type of IT challenge, and the presentations that were given evidenced that here in the room we do indeed have a collection of amazing people, working to deliver amazing projects for great organisations, that collectively help deliver solutions for society," he stated.

The winners are listed in full below. Congratulations to every one of them, and to all who entered.
