The 2018 UK ‘Cloud Awards’ winners were announced last week 16 May 2018 at an event that took place at County Hall, South Bank, London. Presented by Cloud Pro and the
Cloud Industry Forum (CIF), the awards celebrated the very best of the country’s cloud industry and recognized “collective and individual cloud achievements”.
The awards ceremony was sponsored by Ingram Micro and acknowledged the best cloud providers, products and projects over the last 12 months. The awards were decided by a panel of judges drawn from industry expertise and led by Mr. Frank Bennett. The event was attended by Margot James, the UK’s Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries.
"In 2016 the digital sectors contributed £116bn to our economy and we're very keen to continue the upward trajectory,” explained Margot James. “By working closely with the private sector, we intend to increase this contribution to £200bn by 2025 - and I think that's a target that we can bust."
