Since starting Knight Corporate Finance, we have seen a continuing evolution of our industry. We are re-evaluating the way we interact and communicate with each-other driven by changes in technology, connectivity with businesses striving to deliver ever more effective communications.

It is a pleasure to support an event which recognises and rewards those organisations and people that are leading the way. Every year, the quality of the entries get better and better which is a great illustration of the strength of the comms channel.

We are consistently impressed by the levels of innovation and entrepreneurialism that keep the sector so dynamic and this is reflected in this long period of M&A activity and consolidation that shows no sign of slowing. We are also seeing new businesses are establishing themselves and now banks and other financial institutions are investing heavily in the sector as growth continues and new opportunities emerge.

Knight Corporate Finance helps companies maximize value for their business, whether they are planning to raise finance, considering growth by acquisition or haven taken the decision to exit. When the time is right for you, we will be able to provide the experience and expertise to help you realise your aspirations and ensure you get the deal that you want.

However tonight is about celebrating and rewarding the people behind every great business. It’s a chance to network, celebrate success together and of course congratulate the winners.

“Spitfire is delighted to again sponsor the Vendor Software & Application Category of the 2016 Comms National Awards. Superfast broadband, cloud provision of services and virtualisation are changing the way that customers store data and access services and apps. Not only is the provision of data services changing, but the way apps and services are accessed by users is being transformed as well.

“To meet the challenge of a fast changing digital landscape requires software and app vendors to be agile, innovative and responsive to a dynamic marketplace where the pace of change is accelerating. As a company dedicated to providing customers with the reliable super-fast network services that are the gateway to cloud apps and software, it is appropriate that Spitfire recognises the immense effort made by software and application vendors to produce reliable, high quality products that function seamlessly across a range of platforms.

“The Comms National Awards have become the benchmark for excellence in the comms industry, providing public acknowledgement of achievement. All can be assured that all the finalists will be of the highest calibre. But there can be only one winner and we look forward to congratulating the Award recipient at the CNA event in October.”

The Comms National Awards is, without question, one of the most exciting and highly anticipated events in the telecoms channel calendar, attended by some of the best and most talented people the industry has to offer. It’s a celebration of outstanding achievement, with each award representing a great deal of hard work and dedication on the part of the winner.

“Winning a CNA award is a fantastic achievement and demonstrates that you are an elite performer, with an edge over competitors. Targeting a particular vertical market requires a high level of skill and expertise, truly demonstrating that the winning company is the master of its market. It’s therefore a great privilege for Union Street to be the sponsor of this year’s Vertical Markets category.

In 2015 we were very honoured to accept the award for Best Billing Platform and were equally pleased to celebrate the successes of our channel partners, many of whom received finalist nominations and awards for their efforts. “We’re very much looking forward to this year’s CNAs and, on behalf of myself and the Union Street Team, I’d like to wish the best of luck to all this year’s entrants.”

At Bowan Arrow, we jumped at the opportunity to support the Comms National Awards this year as one of the Hospitality Sponsor’s. For us these awards mark the pinnacle of the IT & Telecommunications industries accolades and for every business or individual that has the privilege of being shortlisted they should take great pride in their association with the Comms National Awards.

Writing winning award entries can be a time consuming challenge that most companies just don’t have the manpower or expertise to complete, or the time to decide on which awards to enter and which ones to ignore. Yet winning an industry recognised award can reap big rewards in terms of positive PR and new business opportunities so it’s a really worthwhile activity to add into your annual marketing plan.

Entering and or sponsoring awards activities are great fun and an excellent way to boost morale and do some team bonding. If you are considering if you should enter the Comms National Awards, then the answer is YES. Just remember to work off the event promotional activity including social both pre and post event. Involvement in awards is an investment in either time to create an excellent submission or budget to generate new business and greater awareness. Plan to do both and the results will follow. Good to luck to everyone involved this year.
