The 2022 panel of judges gave the company the Judges' Leadership Award recognising the efforts of Managing Director Adam Lewis and this team, who are the driving force behind Hippo Digital's growth.
Adam Lewis, Managing Director and co-founder said “We are delighted to have been recognised for our growth as well as the leadership award. As a people-focused business it's important to acknowledge that this is very much a team sport and we wouldn't be where we are without such fantastic and talented people in the business”.
Hippo Digital is one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the North and is amongst the region's high-growth achievers.
Tech journalist Edie Lush hosted the ninth edition of the Northern Tech Awards ceremony. 250 CEOs, entrepreneurs and business leaders in the digital economy gathered to celebrate and showcase the leading tech businesses in the North of England and Scotland.
The top 100 league table revealed the region's fastest-growing and most successful tech companies. The Northern Stars awards showcased earlier-stage companies with the most potential to be the tech successes in the coming years.
The strength of digital services in the North was highlighted, with a total of 37 digital services companies in the 100 fastest-growing companies. Of these, 19 were recognised within the top 50 fastest-growing companies. This represents an increase in the 12 software businesses included in the top 50 last year, increasing the sector's total share to 38 per cent in 2022.
