Campbell Williams, group strategy and marketing director, Six Degrees Group said, “Today the versatility of an online platform for any project or campaign is vital for success. This means organisations are looking for the very best to create their platform and – from the best designers to the highest quality hosting infrastructure. This also includes better ways to engage with their customers and global teams via managed services, such as video conferencing. BIMA is all about celebrating and championing digital excellence, which is something to be commended itself so we are pleased to have been part of the event last night.”

Tim Parfitt, BIMA member and CEO Netcel, said “from mobile to more traditional websites, the industry is working hard to develop digital platforms that reflect the modern lifestyle. Companies are beginning to understand the relevance of the digital industry in a modern age - that’s where BIMA comes in. BIMA is working to further transform the industry by highlighting the accomplishments of remarkable individuals and organisations and the sector as a whole.”
