JAOtech was named Start-Up of the Year at the prestigious Electronics Weekly Elektra awards in London - the third award in a month for the young Redhill-based company.

 Making the award, the judges were impressed by JAOtech's progress in developing the market for its patient entertainment terminals increasing its sales ten-fold in 2008-9, shipping well over 30,000 to hospitals and clinics. They commented, "This year it opened an office in the US to strengthen its presence in this important market, and also sales offices and local customer support centres in Australia, France and the Netherlands."

 Warren Kressinger-Dunn, CEO of JAOtech, commented, "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."

 Now in its seventh year and firmly established as an annual high point of the electronics industry, the Elektra Awards give the industry the opportunity to recognise the achievements of individuals and companies across Europe. They are designed to promote best practice in key areas, including innovation, sales growth and employee motivation.
