The prestigious MediaGuardian Innovation Awards have come and gone, and in a tightly-fought competition, Sarah is a runner up in “Rising Star of the Year” category. Here’s what the judges had to say:

“Sarah McVittie is the founder and CEO of the Texperts, a UK-based service which lets people text in any question and have it answered within minutes. This year alone she has effectively steered her company through a complete rebrand, tripled the size of the company to 265 people in order to meet the demand and successfully raised £1.5 million of funding to take the company to the next stage.”

The event itself was great, according to Sarah, and she was glad to see other industry movers and shakers there, including SMS Text News stalwart Ewan MacLeod. All in all, being recognised at the inaugural MediaGuardian Awards is a real honour for Texperts, and a feather in Sarah’s cap.
