Texperts do it again – Innovative Company of the Year gong won at Growing Buiness Awards
Cambridge, 29 November 2007
Last night, Texperts won the Innovative Company of the Year prize at the Real Business/CBI Growing Business Awards. This marks the second award for Texperts in 2007, who picked up a National Business Award for Best Use of Technology back in July.
The high profile awards ceremony was held at the Marriott Hotel on Grosvenor Square, and has been called “the business equivalent of the Oscars” by PM Gordon Brown. Texperts’ CEO and co-founder Sarah McVittie was presented the award by Theo Paphitis, of Dragon’s Den fame, and celebrity impressionist Rory Bremner, who compered the evening.
McVittie dedicated the award to her company’s “brilliant team of hard-working Texperts, who have all made the service such a success.” Afterward the ceremony she said,
“it has been an amazing year, where we have really been in the national spotlight. It is exciting to be at the forefront of the mobile industry and we are really starting to achieve what we always aimed for: to change the way people interact on mobile.”
McVittie promised that more innovation was on the horizon for a company with a proven track record of delivering exciting and useful new consumer-oriented services.
