Connex One has been ranked 6th among the Top 100 Fastest-Growing Tech Companies at the 2022 Northern Tech Awards, marking the company’s fourth consecutive year on the list and a significant rise from 13th place in 2021.

Presented by GP Bullhound on 16th June 2022 at Manchester’s Albert Hall, the Northern Tech Awards celebrate the most innovative and successful technology businesses across the North of England and Scotland. The rankings recognise companies achieving the highest revenue growth over the past three years.

Connex One recorded a growth rate exceeding 100%, reflecting the company’s continued expansion as a fast-growing SaaS leader in customer experience (CX) and AI-driven business automation. The company was previously recognised as a finalist at the Northern Tech Awards in 2018 and 2021.

“It’s a real honour to be ranked this high after consistently growing for the past five years,” said Nick Mealey, Founder and CEO of Connex One. “This achievement marks another milestone in our global expansion and brings us closer to our long-term goal of reaching Unicorn status and pursuing a $1.5 billion flotation. I’m incredibly proud of our global team for driving outstanding results and helping our clients achieve exceptional growth alongside us.”

Over the past year, Connex One has strengthened its position as a Northern Powerhouse through major advancements in its CX platform. The company’s Athena AI module has led the way with innovations in speech analytics, AI-driven workflows, and intelligent chat, enabling businesses to optimise agent efficiency by up to 90%. These next-generation features have contributed to Connex One’s year-on-year growth of 118% and the doubling of its enterprise client base and platform licences.

In addition to product innovation, Connex One has expanded its international footprint, opening larger offices in the United States and launching new operations in Portugal, Spain, and Australia.

“Our vision is to continue building on our success as a Northern Powerhouse while expanding our global presence,” added Mealey. “We’re committed to developing technology that empowers organisations to deliver exceptional customer experiences worldwide.”
