The boss of a Wimborne-based company has hailed its success at the 2021 UK Business Tech Awards as “fantastic” for the team.

Talk Think Do, an established Microsoft Gold Partner and small software architecture house, won the Transformation through Technology Award.

The company attended the awards ceremony at London’s Montcalm Marble Arch Hotel along with its co-nominee and client, Explore Learning.

Other finalists attending the awards included Octopus Energy, EY, RAC and Experian.

Matt Hammond, Talk Think Do’s CEO, pictured left, said: “We are thrilled to have won this award alongside our client, Explore Learning.

“Between both companies we have poured blood, sweat and tears into responding to the challenges that the pandemic has presented.

“It is fantastic for the team to have these efforts recognised.”

The citation from the judges said: “An impressive submission with tangible, measurable benefits.

“The impact here from both technology transformation and human engagement/support perspectives really stood out to us.

“We liked the capability and personalisation of the platform – engagement for kids and support for parents and tutors alike.”

Explore Learning can now operate fully remotely.

More importantly, it has the ability to expand on a global scale, using technology to set its business up for future growth.

Talk Think Do was founded by Matt with 25 years’ experience in software development, working on high profile projects for world-renowned organisations.

Employed first as a developer and then as a solutions architect, his career spanned working for Barclays, Transport for London, the Department for Education, Fitness First, Avios and several Formula 1 teams.
