CMYK | Business Technology is delighted to have received the esteemed 'SME of the Year' award at the recent North East Automotive Alliance Annual Awards, which took place at Ramside Hall & Spa.
The ‘SME of the Year’ award, sponsored by North East Institute of Technology (NEIoT), recognised small to medium enterprise businesses most able to demonstrate all-round achievement and progressive best practice within the automotive sector in the last 24 months.
CMYK have shown strong year-on-year growth, increasing turnover significantly, as well as increasing head count, investing in their people, infrastructure and strengthening their product offering to further support their growing client base.
The awards judging panel, made up of industry leaders commented; “Choosing a winner in this category was extremely challenging due to the quality of entries. CMYK articulated their value proposition very clearly. Their strategy was fluent in their submission and took into consideration the economic situation, the changing habits of customers and their own workforce, whilst pivoting their business for the new world post-covid. A blended environmental approach was noted by the judges. A fully deserving winner and a big congratulations.”
CMYK supports many large clients in the engineering, automotive and manufacturing sector across the North East and beyond - rapidly becoming the go-to tech partner for organisations across our region.
Sarah Wharrier, regional sales director of CMYK added; “This award is testament to the outstanding work we do supporting our clients. From service delivery, logistics, administration and account management, this award wouldn’t have been possible without every facet of the business – we should all be extremely proud!”.
In the last 12 months, the business has gained two further ISO accreditations (IS0 45001- Health and Safety Management and IS022301- Business Continuity Management) adding to their existing standards of 9001, 14001 and 27001 and they’ve proudly become a Living Wage Employer.
The business has also made significant investments in new IT Service Management Platforms, aimed at enhancing and optimising the overall user experience for their clients.
CMYK's growth projections indicate that they will soon be seeking to expand their team even more in the North East region. This expansion is necessary to meet the increasing demand for their services and to accommodate the onboarding of new clients.
