Calligo wins Digital Growth Business of the Year and CEO Julian Box is named Digital Leader of the Year<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2021 is off to a stellar start for Calligo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Digital Jersey Tech Awards 2020 virtual awards evening, Calligo was announced as the Digital Growth Business of the Year for its achievements throughout last year, while Julian Box was named the Digital Leader of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calligo was named Digital Growth Business of the Year because of its growth in five key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geographic growth<\/strong>
In only 10 months of 2020, Calligo completed three acquisitions in Ireland, integrating them all together and with the wider global organisation to create one of the largest providers of managed services in Ireland.<\/td><\/tr>
UK expansion<\/strong> \u00a0 A fourth acquisition was also completed in 2020, this time in the UK. Network Integrity Services<\/a> was added to expand Calligo\u2019s local UK presence, while also growing the skills and capabilities that can be made available to customers throughout Europe and North America.<\/td><\/tr>
Service additions<\/strong>   2020 saw the addition of Calligo\u2019s Machine Learning as a Service<\/a> to the portfolio. This is the first and only managed service to simultaneously address all six of the key barriers to businesses adopting machine learning: data quality, complexity, security, accuracy, data privacy and of course, cost.<\/td><\/tr>
Reputational growth<\/strong> \u00a0 In 2020 alone, Calligo has been ranked 18th<\/sup> on the MSP 501, the global annual rankings of the strongest managed service providers, plus joined the Top 100 of The Growth List (the official ranking of the fastest growing businesses operating in Canada), joined the Top 100 of the Public Cloud MSPs listing and was shortlisted for three awards for our data services in the European IT & Software Excellence Awards<\/a> (results in 2021).<\/td><\/tr>
Financial growth<\/strong>   All this activity has translated into strong commercial success, with Calligo able to show the judges a consistent trend of strong annual financial growth over the last three years, which is predicted to continue into 2021.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Digital Jersey judges were also impressed by Julian Box\u2019s personal leadership of the company throughout 2020, awarding him the Digital Leader of the Year prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
