We're in the Running for Four South Coast Tech & Innovation Awards

Nigel, Mailock, and Beyond Encryption Founder & CEO Paul Holland have been named finalists across four categories at the South Coast Tech & Innovation Awards 2026.

The full 2026 shortlist recognises two of our products and one of the people behind them.

• AI Innovation of the Year: Nigel by Beyond Encryption
• Innovative Tech of the Year: Nigel by Beyond Encryption
• Outstanding Achievement Award: Paul Holland, Beyond Encryption
• Tech for Good Award: Mailock by Beyond Encryption

Seeing Nigel and Mailock recognised alongside Paul makes these four finalist places especially meaningful for our team.

"It's especially rewarding to see Nigel, Mailock, and the people behind them recognised side by side. These finalist places represent different parts of the same aim: making sensitive information easier to manage and share safely."

This is not our first success at the event. Beyond Encryption won Tech Leadership Team of the Year in 2022, followed by Cyber Security Company of the Year in 2024.

Those earlier awards recognised the work of our leadership and security teams. This year's shortlist reaches across our products, innovation work, and company leadership.

The awards are now in their seventh year. Winners will be announced at the ceremony at the Leonardo Royal Southampton on 15 October 2026.

"The shortlist recognises technology our customers use today, our innovations for a better future, and the leadership needed to keep both moving forward."

Emily Plummer, CMO, Beyond Encryption (Mailock)

We're looking forward to joining the South Coast technology community in October, and we wish every finalist the best of luck.
