WORCESTERSHIRE technology company Postcode Anywhere has reached the UK finals of the international Dell Small Business Excellence Award.

As a UK finalist, the Hallow-based firm has received a Dell business-class laptop, a one-year membership to the chamber of commerce, and goes on to compete for the national award.

Postcode Anywhere is a data technology company that helps firms find addresses. Its services include demographic profiling, data cleansing and a route planner that cuts haulers’ petrol consumption by up to 30 per cent.

The company employs innovative use of IT in its internal processes, which has been celebrated by the plaudit from Dell.

Managing director Guy Mucklow said: “Being honoured in these awards is a fantastic achievement for all of us at Postcode Anywhere.

“As Dell’s celebration of business excellence comes this year in a time of great economic uncertainty, it’s hugely encouraging to be recognised by the industry leaders in the judging panel.

“IT plays a significant role both in driving cost efficiencies within our business and creating competitive advantage and we are therefore both proud and delighted to be highlighted as a company to emulate.”

Angus Hegarty, vice-president and general manager of Dell small and medium business, said: “In today’s economy, these businesses are proof that smart IT investments can not only pay off for the business itself, but for their customers as well.

“As one of this year’s finalists, Postcode Anywhere is applying technology in new, innovative ways to break new ground and raise the bar.

“They serve as strong examples for all our customers of the positive impact IT can have on business success and customer satisfaction.”

Announced in September, the national winner will receive consulting time with Michael Dell, £15,000 in Dell technology and a 10-year membership to an accredited chamber of commerce.
