Focus Technology Solutions has been shortlisted for MSP of the Year (under £10m) at the CRN Channel Awards 2026, one of the biggest and most respected awards in the UK IT industry. The business joins a shortlist of leading managed service providers from across the country, with winners announced at a ceremony in London this November.

The CRN Channel Awards are run by CRN UK, part of The Channel Company, and celebrate the best performing businesses across the UK technology channel. The MSP of the Year (under £10m) category specifically recognises managed service providers that have shown strong growth, genuine client satisfaction, technical excellence and innovation over the past year, judged against other MSPs of a similar size from right across the country.

Winners are announced live at the awards ceremony on 12 November 2026 at Battersea Evolution, London.

Dave Wilkinson, managing director of Focus Technology Solutions, said: “Being shortlisted for a national award like this means a huge amount to the whole team. We started Focus to build a business that always majors on family feeling and personal touch, the kind of IT Support that big companies rarely offer, so to be recognised alongside some of the best MSPs in the country is brilliant. It’s testament to the hard work everyone here puts in for our clients every single day.”

Focus Technology Solutions provides managed IT support and cyber security services to small and medium sized businesses across Lancashire from its Skelmersdale head office. The company is Cyber Essentials Plus certified and Microsoft Certified, supports more than 65 businesses.
