We’re incredibly proud to announce that Devtank has been recognised with two major awards at the East Midlands Chamber Derbyshire Business Awards 2026, held on 26 March 2026:

• Digital Transformation Award

• Innovation of the Year Award (sponsored by Rolls-Royce plc)

To be recognised once is an honour but to take home two awards at one of the region’s most prestigious business events is a truly proud moment for our entire team.

A celebration of regional excellence

Hosted by East Midlands Chamber, the Derbyshire Business Awards celebrate the very best of the region’s business community highlighting organisations that demonstrate resilience, growth, collaboration, and innovation. Indeed it was brilliant to see some of our clients either as finalists or winners on the night including Midland Lead who are long term users of our sensors within their processing site.

Across more than a dozen categories, businesses from a wide range of sectors were recognised for their outstanding achievements. The awards shine a spotlight on those driving the East Midlands forward, showcasing the strength, creativity, and ambition within the region.

Award winners for Digital Transformation

Winning the Digital Transformation Award reflects our commitment to delivering impactful, real-world solutions that help organisations modernise and thrive.

At Devtank, digital transformation isn’t just about adopting new technology it’s been about:

• Solving complex problems with practical software engineering
• Enabling smarter, more efficient systems for use by us and our clients
• Supporting industries as they adapt to rapidly changing environments with smart factory technology

This award reinforces the value of the work we do alongside our clients and partners every day.

Innovation of the Year Award sponsored by Rolls-Royce

We’re especially honoured to receive Innovation of the Year, a category sponsored by Rolls-Royce plc which is truly a company synonymous with engineering excellence and innovation in Derbyshire and beyond.

This award carries particular significance as:

• It recognises organisations pushing the boundaries of what’s possible
• It celebrates innovation that delivers tangible impact
• It is backed by one of the UK’s most iconic engineering leaders

Historically, this category has involved close scrutiny from sponsors and industry experts, reflecting the high bar set for innovation in the region. Being recognised in this category places us among a group of businesses driving meaningful technological progress.

A moment for the entire team

These awards are a reflection of the people behind Devtank. From engineers and developers to project teams and partners, this achievement belongs to everyone who contributes their expertise, creativity, and dedication to what we do.

We’d also like to thank our clients and collaborators as your trust enables us to innovate and deliver solutions that make a real difference every day.
