Channel Awards: Announcing our 2025 winners!

Congratulations to all of our 2025 winners!

CRN is delighted to announce our 2025 Channel Awards winners!

For more than three decades, these awards have celebrated the partnerships, people, and innovations that keep this industry moving. And what a year it’s been. From AI reshaping business models to sustainability becoming a boardroom priority, the channel continues to evolve at speed and to lead from the front.

Amid all the change, some things remain constant: the drive, creativity and sheer determination that make the UK channel one of the most dynamic ecosystems in global tech.

These awards recognise that spirit, from the resellers who go the extra mile, the MSPs building trust with every ticket, the distributors who make the impossible happen, to the vendors who keep pushing what’s possible.

The CRN Channel Awards remain fiercely independent, rigorously judged, and genuinely celebratory of what makes our industry special: partnership, innovation and trust.

Each of our winners represent excellence in action: teams who’ve faced the same challenges as everyone else, and found smarter, faster, more collaborative ways to overcome them. Their achievements are reminders of why this community matters: because the channel doesn’t just sell technology. It connects people, ideas, and possibilities.
