The finals of the first Leicestershire Live Innovation Awards 2019 were held at the King Power stadium in Leicester on 3rd April 2019, and Rubitek Solutions was among the nominees in the Innovation in Education & Training category.
There were 10 categories reflecting the diversity and accomplishments of the city and county's top innovators and more than 200 guests attended as the awards were announced by TV presenter Des Coleman.
The nomination demonstrates the impact the company has made since it was established just 11 months ago. The company provides cloud-based software platforms to support apprentices and their employers throughout the learner journey.
Founder Kerry Linley said: “It was a fantastic evening that really celebrated all that is innovative in Leicestershire and Rutland. It was wonderful to network with other forward-thinking businesses and support organisations. We were thrilled to make it through to the finals and we really can't complain too much about coming second place to Mira Technology Institute.
The awards also gave us a great opportunity to talk to the sponsors and other finalists about Rubitek, and why the work we do is so important. We even managed to give out a formal quote for additional software licenses!”
