We ’ ve worked really hard as a team over the last year , so this award is great recognition for that ,” said Josh Gill , CEO , as he collected the Digital Transformation trophy on behalf of Everflow Group .
“ Everflow have entered a few awards over the years and never fail to make it to the shortlist stage , but this is our first win and it being a Tees Tech Award makes it doubly special . It will really boost the morale of the team and is a physical reminder of how well they have done .”
Josh believes the unique culture at Everflow , which has led to an outstanding 2019 , helped tip the judges ’ scores towards them .
“ We work as a team to achieve our ambitions and the fact that we are selling our product on to our competitors is a remarkable , collaborative achievement .”

“ The Tech Awards are a really good reminder – especially to young people considering their careers – that you don ’ t have to leave the area to get a good job in tech . Everflow is keen to keep talent in our area , which in turn will help boost the local economy .”
