Content Guru, a Bracknell-based cloud communications and customer experience provider, has been awarded the highest accolade at the Thames Valley Tech Awards: Tech Company of the Year.
The awards, run by The Business Magazine, recognise the top technology businesses across the region.
Richard Thompson, managing director at The Business Magazine, said the winners, who were chosen by independent judges, reflected the diverse nature of tech in the Thames Valley.
“We have been truly impressed with the tech companies who have entered this year’s awards,” he said.
Content Guru was recognised for its work in cloud-based critical communications. In particular, judges were impressed by the company’s annual revenue growth of 30%, alongside creating large numbers of high quality jobs in the Thames Valley.
Content Guru is part of Redwood Technologies Group, whose Bracknell headquarters is the tech town’s largest local employer.
The winners were announced at a black-tie dinner at Reading’s Select Car Leasing Stadium. During the awards, guests raised over £3,200 for Special Effect, a charity set to help transform the lives of physically disabled people across the globe using innovative technology.
Martin Taylor, Co-founder and Deputy CEO at Content Guru, said: “We are delighted to be recognised by the Thames Valley Tech Awards judges with the most coveted title of Tech Company of the Year.
“Content Guru is a true Thames Valley success story, being based in the region since our business’s inception.
“We have long had our main US base in California’s Silicon Valley, and we feel that this area represents Britain’s closest equivalent to that hot-house of innovation, only with worse weather.”
