Here are the winners of the UK IT Industry Awards 2019

After the glitz and glamour, who walked away with a gong?

Winning an industry award is a Big Deal, showing your customers - and competitors - that you are leading the way in your chosen market.

Last night Computing and BCS returned to Battersea Evolution to host the biggest and brightest show of the year: the UK IT Industry Awards. With hundreds of entries and thousands of professionals in attendance, this black tie event is the place to be.

Sally Phillips announced the winners, hosting the night with her signature flare - but even those who did not walk away with an award enjoyed the opportunity to eat, drink and be merry with their peers. Simply making it on to the shortlist for the UK IT Awards is an achievement, and everyone attending deserved to celebrate it.
