Announcing the winners of the Digital Technology Leaders Awards 2024

A glamorous night that saw finalists pull out all the stops

Last night we held the Digital Technology Leaders Awards 2024, celebrating the best people, projects teams and companies in UK tech today.

The night, hosted at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square, began with a champagne reception and a welcome speech by Computing editor Tom Allen, who congratulated the finalists and highlighted the important work the tech industry is doing in the UK.

Following a delicious three-course dinner, comedian Emmanuel Sonubi took to the stage, providing everyone with a much-needed laugh after six weeks of British political headlines.

And finally, it was time for the awards. Split into Project, Organisational and Personal Excellence categories, they covered the entire tech sector - from returning favourites like Digital Project of the Year, to the brand new Engineer of the Year.
