WEST Suffolk software company Sicon Ltd has notched up a double success in annual awards run by business software and services group Sage.

Sicon, based in Bury St Edmunds, was named “‘ISV Business Partner of the Year” for its commitment to working in partnership with Sage as an independent software vendor.

And the company also received the “Circle of Excellence” award, which recognises partners which provide outstanding customer service and whose customers are the most likely to recommend them to friends and colleagues.

Richard Youngman, managing director at Sicon, said: “We are delighted to win these awards. Not only is it recognition of all the hard work the team has put in but also it is great to receive this type of endorsement from Sage.

“ We’ve had a hugely successful year so far and look forward to building upon these successes in the year ahead.”

Brendan Flattery, chief executive of Sage UK and Ireland, said: “We are delighted to present these awards to Sicon Ltd. They have shown excellent growth by meeting their customer needs and delivering solutions efficiently and effectively, so my congratulations go to all involved.

“Our business partners are immensely important to us and companies such as Sicon Ltd are leading the way in their field. We look forward to working together with them in the future for mutual benefit and growth.”
