The companies driving forward tech innovation in the South East were recognised at The Business Magazine's Southern Tech 150 listing awards.

The event, held this week at Oakley Hall in Basingstoke, recognised and applauded standout performers in the Southern Tech 150 listing of the South East’s top privately-owned technology companies (by turnover).

The annual listing is sponsored by Morgan Lovell, RSM UK and Spectrum IT Recruitment and compiled by The Business Magazine.

Richard Thompson, Managing Director of The Business Magazine, said: “There are so many great success stories in our Southern Tech listing. And the last year has been one of great stories of resilience, too.

“The South East’s vibrant technology sector encompasses everything from software developers, hardware suppliers, bioscience companies, cloud service providers, telecoms businesses and tech-focused manufacturers.”
