Manchester-based telecoms and IT provider IPEX has been named Employer of the Year at the GMCC Excellence Awards 2026.
The company launched in 2017 with a team of three and now has almost 30 employees, supporting more than 850 customers and 25,000 end users across the UK, including the NHS, Mind and Millwall FC.
The win reflects IPEX’s focus on its people. The company has invested in training and development, from off-site learning to apprenticeships, further qualifications and degree-level study, while also completing four acquisitions of smaller telecoms providers this year. Zoe Crosby of IPEX said the award is a recognition of the team behind the business and the workplace they’ve built together.
