We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been shortlisted for the finals of two prestigious technology awards!
We’re in the running for both Small Tech Company of the Year and Best Workplace accolades in the 2024 Prolific North Tech Awards.
In just over two years of trading, we’ve achieved a dramatic increase in turnover, growing our team to 15 dedicated professionals – and we’re planning to bring on 10 more by the end of 2024. Soon, we’ll be moving to a larger space on Newcastle’s Quayside, with more than five times our current floorspace, to support our expansion (but more on that in the coming weeks).
Since we launched in 2022, we’ve built a highly skilled team of professionals focused on IT services, cyber security, telephony, and cloud solutions. We’ve developed strong, lasting relationships with valued clients like PX Group, Beamish Open-Air Museum, Changing Lives, Cleardata, and Zoë’s Place Baby Hospice.
One of our key strengths – identified during the award nominations process – is our commitment to demystifying the complexities of IT. At Atom, we foster a ‘talk first’ culture with our customers, partners, and team, ensuring that issues are clearly understood and resolved, knowledge is shared, and successes are celebrated.
As our MD, Dean Cowens, says:
“Since the company started trading in early 2022, we have enjoyed significant growth in terms of revenue, profits and the size of our team. Our aim from the start has been to do technology better, and our ‘talk first’ culture has struck a chord with customers and allowed us to grow rapidly. But I think it’s also about us being enjoyable to work with – that’s not often said about IT providers but it’s certainly what we try to achieve at Atom.
“Both these award nominations underline our commitment to delivering high-quality services and solutions to our customers. We’re proud to be flying the flag for the North East up against competition from the North West and no matter what the result we’ll celebrate our shortlisting at the event at Old Trafford later this month.”
Our nomination for Best Workplace highlights our relaxed office atmosphere and thoughtful details that help our team feel at home, from movie posters and memorabilia to a ‘reset’ room with a TV, Xbox, and fully stocked fridge for well-deserved breaks.
We’re committed to supporting our team’s development through top-tier vendor training, industry-recognised certifications, and a progressive approach to personal growth. Our team also enjoys unlimited holiday allowance and healthcare coverage among other great perks.
As Dean puts it,
“We understand the importance of taking care of our people and showing appreciation. We prioritise staying up-to-date, so whenever there’s a new IT course or product update, we make sure the team is trained. We want their technical knowledge to be the best in the field.”
