We Have Been Named in the GP Bullhound Northern Tech Awards Top 100

We are proud to share that The Curve has been named in the 2026 GP Bullhound Northern Tech Awards Top 100.

Now in its thirteenth year, the Northern Tech Awards is the definitive celebration of the fastest-growing technology companies across the North of the UK. Being named in the Top 100 is recognition of the work our team puts in every day, and of the clients who trust us to deliver alongside them.

We do not take that lightly.

What This Means to Us

The Curve was founded in Sheffield. We have always believed that you do not need to be in London to build something genuinely excellent. That belief is at the heart of everything we do.

Being recognised among the North's fastest-growing tech companies is validation of that. But more than that, it reflects the quality of the work. The problems we have helped organisations solve. The platforms we have built. The AI and digital transformation programmes we have delivered for clients who needed a partner that would be straight with them about what would work and what would not.

This nomination belongs to our team. It belongs to the clients who have grown with us. And it belongs to the wider Northern tech ecosystem that makes this region such a compelling place to build a technology business.

We did not take home a winner's title this year. But being named in this company, among the fastest-growing technology organisations across the North, is something we are genuinely proud of. And it has only strengthened our resolve.

The Northern Tech Scene Is Only Getting Started

The GP Bullhound Top 100 collectively generates over £2.5 billion in revenue. That is not a regional story anymore. That is a national one.

The North is home to ambitious technology businesses, exceptional talent, and real determination to compete on a global stage. The narrative that innovation belongs in London has been quietly dismantled over the last decade. What is happening in Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester, and across the region is genuinely world-class.

We have expanded into Leeds this year, into the heart of the Northern Square Mile, because we believe the next chapter of that story is going to be significant. The financial and professional services sector alone has ambitions to generate 50,000 new jobs over the next decade. The technology infrastructure, the talent, and the institutional backing to support that are all here.

We want to be part of building it.

What Comes Next

We are not standing still. Our focus for 2026 is on helping more organisations across the North move from AI curiosity to confident, practical adoption. On building the right foundations for growth. On doing work that actually delivers, rather than work that looks good in a pitch.

Nights like last night remind you what you are building toward. The talent in this region is extraordinary. The ambition is real. And the recognition, even without the trophy, matters.

Thank you to GP Bullhound and to everyone who has been part of our journey so far.

The best of it is still ahead.
