Westway IT Named Finalist for Channel National Awards 2026 – Up and Coming MSP 2026
We're delighted to share some exciting news from everyone here at Westway IT.
We have been named a finalist in the Channel National Awards 2026 for Best Up-and-Coming MSP (Managed Service Provider). Being recognised alongside some of the UK's most respected technology businesses is a remarkable achievement and a proud milestone in our journey.
More importantly, this recognition reflects the trust our clients place in us every day. Since launching in 2018, our mission has been simple: to provide reliable, jargon-free IT services that help businesses stay secure, productive, and focused on what they do best.
Recognising Growth, Innovation and Client Relationships
The Best Up-and-Coming MSP category celebrates managed service providers that have demonstrated strong growth, innovation, and a commitment to customer relationships. These are qualities that sit at the heart of everything we do.
Over the past year, we have continued to invest in our services, our processes, and the experience we deliver to our clients, including:
Helping businesses strengthen their cybersecurity and resilience
Delivering proactive IT support that prevents issues before they impact productivity
Providing clear, jargon-free technology advice
Investing in automation and service improvements to enhance client experience
Supporting business owners through workshops, webinars, and educational events
While we're proud of these achievements, they have only been possible because of the fantastic clients who choose to work with us and trust us as an extension of their team.
A Reflection of Our Clients
Although the award nomination is for Westway IT, we see it as a reflection of the relationships we've built with our clients.
Every project we've delivered, every challenge we've helped overcome, and every referral we've received has contributed to this achievement. Our growth has been driven by long-term partnerships, client recommendations, and a shared commitment to achieving positive outcomes.
Clients who trust us with their technology
Partners who collaborate with us to deliver the best solutions
Businesses that recommend us to others
Organisations that share our values of trust, reliability, and continuous improvement
This finalist position belongs as much to them as it does to us.
Looking Ahead to the Awards
To be recognised on a national stage and shortlisted alongside such high-calibre MSPs is a huge achievement in itself. We're incredibly proud of what we've accomplished so far and excited to celebrate with the other finalists.
Whatever the outcome on awards night, being named a finalist is a fantastic recognition of the hard work, dedication, and people-first approach that continues to drive Westway IT forward.
A Thank You to Our Community
We would like to thank our clients, partners, suppliers, and wider business community for their continued support, trust, and encouragement.
Achievements like this do not happen alone. They are built on strong relationships, shared successes, and the opportunity to help great businesses do great things.
