Surrey medtech company JAOtech has been declared Start-Up of the Year at the Electronics Weekly Elektra Awards in London – concluding a hat-trick of awards this month for the company.
The judges praised JAOtech’s achievement in developing the market for its ‘smart terminals’ and increasing its sales tenfold in 2008–9. They noted that the company had “acquired a company in the US to strengthen its presence in this important market, and opened local customer support centres in Australia, France and the Netherlands.”
Warren Kressinger-Dunn, CEO of JAOtech, said: “The Elektras are one of the most prestigious awards of the electronics industry, and we are very proud to have been named Start-Up of the Year. This award is a tribute to the whole of the JAOtech team, who together have developed a world-class product and successfully taken it to market.”
Through the Elektra Awards, the electronics industry recognises the achievements of individuals and companies across Europe. The awards promote best practice in innovation, sales growth and employee motivation. They are presented by Electronics Weekly, a leading industry publication.
Redhill-based JAOtech is a market leader in the design and manufacture of embedded smart terminals, over 35,000 of which have been installed in hospitals worldwide. The terminals provide secure access to electronic medical records and triple-play solutions for patient entertainment.
