Tech firm scoops major national award

Technology specialist Barron McCann has scooped a major national award recognising its innovation, teamwork and customer-first approach to IT.

Working in partnership with Retail Assist, the Derby firm was named Technology Vendor of the Year at the Retail Technology Innovation Hub (RTIH) Awards – a prestigious celebration of the businesses driving change across the retail and hospitality industries.

The accolade follows the success of a nationwide project with Papa John’s, which transformed IT support for more than 400 stores across the UK.

The initiative introduced faster call response times, streamlined maintenance and real-time data tracking – ensuring smoother operations for franchisees and better service for customers.

The award comes hot on the heels of the announcement that Barron McCann is a finalist in the Customer Service Award at the Supply Chain Excellence Awards.

Gary Piper, sales director at Barron McCann, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to have been recognised at the RTIH Awards as Technology Vendor of the Year.

“This win reflects the strength of our expertise and combined service offering with Retail Assist and the dedication of both teams.

“Together, we’ve shown how technology, when done right, can make life easier for retailers and their customers alike.”
