67 Bricks is delighted to announce that it has been named a Runner-Up in the ‘Professional Services Firm of the Year’ category at the British Data Awards 2021.

The British Data Awards is an annual campaign that celebrates the organisations and people that are deeply passionate about data and helps to uncover data success stories. Organisations taking part this year include FTSE 100 giants, tech unicorns, innovative start-ups, large public sector bodies, agile not-for-profits and everything in between.   

Although 67 Bricks has been nominated for many innovation awards, this is the first time that the Oxford-based firm, known for its software development work with some of the world’s most respected publishers, has entered a data-specific award.

MD and co-founder Sam Herbert said: “Being named Runner-Up in this category is a real honour.  Helping our clients in scholarly publishing to unpick their data challenges so they can digitally transform has been at the heart of 67 Bricks for the last fourteen years.  This acknowledgement of our team’s technical excellence is a proud moment in our history.”  

Jason Johnson, Co-Founder of Predatech and British Data Awards judge said: “I’d like to extend my congratulations to all our 2021 Runner-Ups. Being named a Runner-Up is a real achievement, and all organisations should feel immensely proud. I’m really excited to see what the next 12 months has in store for them all.”

It has been a busy year so far for 67 Bricks, who began the year launching a new digital publishing platform for heritage publisher De Gruyter and strengthening its strategic partnership with long standing client The Royal Society of Chemistry.  In 2020 they were also named by leading research group Outsell as a key science, technology and medical (STM) platform provider in their April industry report. 

Sam Herbert continued: “As the sector digitally transforms, it brings an exciting and challenging time for the scholarly publishing community.  As a team, we are hugely motivated to play a major role in its continued evolution.”
