entrustIT Shortlisted in Thames Valley Tech & Innovation Awards 2026

entrustIT has been shortlisted for Managed Service Provider of the Year at the Thames Valley Tech & Innovation Awards 2026, hosted by The Business Magazine in partnership with Insider.

Now in their eighth year, the awards celebrate technology and innovation across the Thames Valley, recognising everyone from early-stage start-ups to established names in the region, with past finalists spanning software, cloud, AI, fintech, life sciences and space tech. Being shortlisted in a field this broad and competitive is something we don't take for granted.

Back in the running after last year's win

This year's shortlisting follows entrustIT's Tech SME of the Year win at the 2025 awards.

The Managed Service Provider category is a different challenge. Where Tech SME of the Year looked at the business as a whole, MSP of the Year puts our core service under the spotlight: how we run managed IT for our customers, day in, day out. It's the work that doesn't always make the headlines internally, the steady, technical, often unseen graft of keeping hundreds of organisations productive and secure.

The last 12 months have seen continued investment in our service desk, our engineering capability and our customer relationships, and this shortlisting is a reflection of that work.

Commenting on the announcement, Thomas Dodd, Commercial Director at entrustIT, said: "Being shortlisted again is brilliant news, and this category in particular means a lot. MSP of the Year is judged on the bread and butter of what we do, so it's a category we want to be competing in. The Thames Valley has no shortage of strong MSPs, so being in the running for the top spot says a lot about what our teams have built over the past year. We know from last year how competitive the night gets, and we'll be going in with the same approach: be proud of what we've achieved, and enjoy a good evening either way. Fingers crossed for July."

The shortlisting comes off the back of another year of growth, with continued expansion across IT support, cyber security, cloud and connectivity, and customer satisfaction scores remaining at record levels.

Winners are announced on Thursday 9th July 2026 at the Select Car Leasing Stadium in Reading. We'll be there on the night, alongside some of the most ambitious tech businesses in the region.
