Our Awards

For the fourth consecutive year, we have been awarded three stars in the Best Companies Accreditation (the highest number of stars that can be awarded). In 2010, there were 1086 companies that applied for star status. We are proud to be one of only 50 who achieved three stars.

We are one of a select group of recipients of the 2010 Queen's Award for Enterprise. This is the fourth Queen's Award we have achieved during our 29 year history and has been granted for 'continuous innovation and development' as well as commercial success of our MetaSphere application server.

Out of almost 1000 companies that applied for selection, we were placed 12th in the Sunday Times Best Companies to Work for 2010. This is the seventh consecutive year that we have been placed in the top 15 and we remained the top company from the Communications/Telecom sector. We ranked highly in several of the individual categories, including "Wellbeing" (how we look after people) and "Fair Deal" (rewarding people equitably).

Out of almost 1000 companies that applied for selection, we were placed 9th in the Sunday Times Best Companies to Work for 2009. We were the top company from the Communications/Telecom sector. We came 2nd for 'lending a helping hand' and for having the 'most supportive managers'. We also came 3rd for offering a 'good work/life balance'.

We were awarded Three Stars in the Best Companies Accreditation 2009, an accolade we also achieved in 2007 and 2008. In a 'Michelin style' rating system, we were awarded the highest number of stars for our 'extraordinary' level of employee engagement. Out of 795 companies who entered, only 55 achieved Three Star status.

Our in-house IT Support team won Computer Weekly's Best Places to Work in IT award, 2009 (IT software and Hardware suppliers). This is the fourth time we have won this award.

In 2006, we were granted the Queen's Award for Enterprise in the International Trade category. This award is the most prestigious UK business accolade. We had previously received the Queen's Award for Export Achievement in 1992 and 1999. Each accolade lasts for five years and can be re-awarded every seven years.

We were originally accredited as an Investor in People in 2001, then re-accredited in 2004 and once again in 2007.

We have been placed in the Best Workplaces in the UK list for the last two years, and were awarded 3rd place in 2005.

We also came 2nd in the London Region section of the Sunday Times Best Companies to Work for 2005.

The Financial Times also listed us as one of the 100 Best Workplaces in Europe for 2005.
