The winners of the 15th annual Computing Awards for Excellence were announced last night in front of a packed house at the Battersea Park Arena in London.

More than 1,200 VIP guests enjoyed an evening’s entertainment, hosted by comedian Sanjeev Baskar from The Kumars at No. 42.

The party was great – and more importantly the quality of the winners was outstanding.

Our congratulations go to all those whose efforts were rewarded – see the full list of winners below.
