The UK channel is notoriously generous when it comes to its charity and non-profit/not-for-profit work. This has been especially true during the pandemic, when they have used their unique position as technology suppliers and experts to benefit wider society. This award will go to the non-profit or charity initiative that has demonstrated the greatest impact over the last 12 months, whether directly related to Covid or another sphere.

Open to:

Any reseller, MSP or IT solutions provider, or equally any employee or employees with a reseller/MSP/IT services provider background that has set up a non-profit/not-for-profit or launched a charity endeavour off their own back.

If you work for a channel partner that has developed a packaged service, solution or customer framework that is instrumental in helping clients cut or minimise their carbon footprint, this new category is the one for you. You may have developed the service in partnership with a vendor or ITAD, or even created some intellectual property yourself. The award will go to the most innovative and/or effective offering.

Open to:

Resellers/MSPs/IT solution providers/any other breed of front-line channel partner

Using the latest technological innovations, the channel is on the front line of efforts to transform society and make the UK – and world – a better, more equitable place. This award will go to the reseller/MSP/IT solutions provider that has delivered the customer project with the biggest social or community impact over the last 12-24 months. This could be a ground-breaking IoT project that has helped citizens or a community in a particular town or city. It could be a project that has helped the NHS, a school or a non-profit. In any case, the project must have had a positive social impact. NB: this category is distinct from the 'Non-Profit Initiative of the Year' category, which is for charity/non-profit initiatives rather than commercial projects.
