Exa Networks has been shortlisted for five awards at the 2021 ISPAs.

Exa is one of the UK’s leading internet service providers, delivering bespoke solutions to schools and businesses nationwide. The Bradford-based business is a finalist for Best Cyber Security, Best Partnership, Best Hosted Service, Social Impact and Best Customer Service. 

Last year the company beat off stiff competition to win three ISPAs; Best Business ISP, Best Partnership and Social Impact. 

Mark Cowgill, Founder and director of Exa Networks, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be shortlisted for five ISPA awards. This marks the 17th consecutive year we have been nominated, which is something I am extremely proud of. It makes all the hard work and investment we’ve put in over the past 12 months worthwhile.”

With 33 providers nominated across 12 categories, the ISPA awards recognise the UK’s best ISPs who have made the internet a safer and more secure place for customers. Now in its 23rd year, the prestigious awards ceremony will take place on November 4, 2021 at the Sheraton Grand Park Hotel in London. 

ISPA’s Secretary General, Nick Lansman, commented: “This year’s shortlisted ISPA Awards finalists demonstrate the high calibre and diversity of ISPs across the UK, who continue to drive growth and innovation across the internet industry. In a year where we have been in and out of lockdowns, ISPs stepped up their efforts to provide vital services and technological advances to keep the UK’s digital economy pumping, driving innovation and the rollout and delivery of key infrastructure. We are all looking forward to an exciting evening which celebrates the best that the UK industry has to offer.”
