Accesso Technology wins three major awards

Leisure, entertainment and cultural technology provider Accesso Technology Group highlighted a number of recent award wins in an update on Tuesday, in recognition of its technology, its impact on the end-markets it serves, and on its growth track record as a firm.

The AIM-traded firm received two awards at the 2017 IAAPA Attractions Expo - the attraction industry's largest and “most prestigious” event.

Both were awarded to the group's Accesso Prism product, which won IAAPA's highest honour for a new product - the Impact Award - as well as a Brass Ring award for the best new technology product.

IAAPA's Impact Award is bestowed annually on a winner of one of the best new product categories that, in the opinion of the judging panel, had or would have the largest impact on the amusement parks and attractions industry.

The Brass Ring award recognises excellence throughout the global attractions industry, and is the 5th such award Accesso has won in the last nine years.

In the same week, Accesso was also named mid-market business of the year at the Lloyds Bank National Business Awards.

In their summarising comments, the judges referenced the group's global reach, vision and dynamic leadership as reasons for winning the award.

“It's fantastic to win these awards and it's tremendous to be recognised by both our industry and by the British business community,” said Accesso’s executive chairman Tom Burnet.

“We pride ourselves on the quality of our technology and we are excited about all the possibilities we see to put accesso Prism at the heart of our queuing operations.”

Burnet quipped that more than anything, the awards reflected the “passion, creativity and commitment” of the company’s people, who he said had all played their part in Accesso’s success.

“I'd like to thank them all for their hard work, vision and commitment to our firm - and to the customers we're so proud to serve.”
