<\/p>\nHere are all the winners of the show that celebrates people, not products.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Standouts of the UK tech industry came together to celebrate success last night. Here\u2019s the list of deserving winners.<\/strong><\/p>\n Today\u2019s IT workers are doing so much more than just keeping the lights on. Modern IT is critical to business success, and the professionals leading the industry are practiced at adapting to a dynamic and fast-paced environment.<\/p>\n That ability has never been more important than this year, in the middle of technological, social and geopolitical change. That\u2019s why Computing\u2019s Digital Technology Leaders Awards are so important: to honour and celebrate the people who aren’t just maintaining pace – they\u2019re driving transformation and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.<\/p>\n Last night, IT leaders from across the UK came together in London to greet old friends, meet new ones and, of course, toast each other\u2019s success.<\/p>\n Following a welcome by Computing editor Tom Allen and a delicious three-course meal, comedian and host Alistair Barrie took the stage to announce the winners.
