Connex One, a leading customer engagement and AI platform provider, has been recognised as one of the top 15 fastest-growing technology companies in the North of England, Scotland and Ireland, ranking No. 13 in this year’s Northern Tech Awards Top 100 Fastest Growing Technology Companies.
The recognition, presented by GP Bullhound, marks the third consecutive year that Connex One has featured in the prestigious list — and represents an impressive leap of 46 places from its No. 59 ranking in 2020.
Over the past year, Connex One has launched a range of next-generation customer engagement and AI features, enabling the company to double its number of enterprise clients and active licences on the Connex One platform.
The company has also expanded its operations both in the UK and internationally, completing three major office expansions across the UK, the United States and South Africa in 2021. Connex One’s headcount has grown to over 250 employees this year, exceeding its projected growth targets.
Connex One’s proprietary Athena AI technology continues to drive innovation and client success, helping organisations worldwide to automate and elevate their customer engagement processes to world-class standards.
“I’m thrilled to see Connex One in the Top 100 Fastest Growing Companies list for a third year, especially reaching the top 15,” said Nick Mealey, Founder and CEO of Connex One. “Our success over the past year reflects the dedication of our teams and the technical innovation that powers the Connex One platform. I’m proud to represent the North in the global tech landscape and excited about our continued growth as a leading software provider.”
Looking ahead, Connex One anticipates further growth in 2022, with additional international expansion and continued innovation within its customer engagement and AI technologies.
Connex One congratulates all fellow award recipients and thanks the judges and organisers of the Northern Tech Awards for recognising its commitment to innovation and excellence.
