European Business Awards

The European Business Awards is dedicated to raising the visibility and progress of companies who excel in delivering innovation twinned with successful commercial results whilst acting responsibly and positively affecting the social environment they operate in.

Noel Quinn, Head of Commercial Banking, UK, HSBC Bank plc, said: "We are pleased to have taken part in the European Business Awards event and celebrated the success of all the County Representatives. The event brought together like minded business leaders and showed that despite the economic uncertainty of recent years companies can not merely survive but thrive."

Deloitte Technology Fast 50

Auros has achieved top regional ranking in this year's Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Awards. This is the first year Auros has entered the awards and has achieved a stunning 3,294 per cent growth over the last five years.

With an overall national position of 14, the growth rate of Bristol-based Auros is twice that of the other entries in the South West and Wales region.

The Deloitte Technology Fast 50, one of the UK's foremost technology award programmes, is a ranking of the country's 50 fastest-growing technology companies based on percentage growth over five years. The Fast 50 programme honours business growth, technological innovation and UK entrepreneurial spirit.

South West top 100 creative companies

Auros has been ranked in this year's Top 100 South West Creative Companies league table, achieving a very creditable 32nd place. This guide is the first ever round up of all the major TV, digital, publishing, PR, design and marketing companies from across the region in one list, ranked by turnover.

Paul Appelby, Chair of Bristol Media who have published the South West Top 100, says, "With a staggering £0.5 billion of combined turnover from companies featured in this guide, the South West can clearly hold its undisputed position as one of Europe's leading creative hubs, home to world class TV production companies, multi award winning marketing and digital agencies, internationally renowned animation and publishing companies and some of the most innovative design and PR consultancies."

CNET awards

The successful Scottish Police project, Police Information Network for Scotland, has resulted in it becoming a finalist for the award for "Public Sector Technology Project of the Year".

Making a substantial difference to the way in which the police officers go about their day to day duty, this eleviates the efforts and decreases the time it takes to update and distribute new information to the entire workforce as this was previously done through sending out a CD.

Best Places to Work in IT awards

Auros has been recognised as one of the Best Places to Work in IT for the category of 'IT Services Suppliers'.

Organisers were said to be attracted to the innovative ideas that the company used based on such simple strategy, for example the news stand, the breakfast club, the community garden and most of all by regarding its people as the company's most important asset.
