On Friday 14th November 2025, at the iconic Magna Science Adventure Centre in Rotherham, Balliante proudly took home one of the most prestigious accolades in the local business community: Small Business of the Year 2025, awarded by the Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce.

For a company that started with a vision to redefine IT services across South Yorkshire and beyond, this recognition marks a defining moment in Balliante’s journey. And what a journey it has been.

A Night to Remember at Magna

Set against the industrial backdrop of the former steelworks, the Chamber Awards evening brought together some of the region’s most forward-thinking, hard-working, and innovative companies. The Business of the Year award is known for celebrating organisations that have demonstrated exceptional performance, strong leadership, innovation, community impact, and sustainable growth.

When Balliante’s name was announced, the entire team rose to their feet—because this award isn’t just a trophy. It’s a public acknowledgement of the long hours, the ambitious projects, the carefully crafted solutions, and the unwavering commitment to clients that define who Balliante is.

A Year of Remarkable Growth

The past twelve months have been transformative. After relocating to Rotherham Town Centre, Balliante set out to embed itself into the heart of the community and contribute to the ongoing regeneration of the town. What followed was a period of exceptional growth—both in scale and in impact.

In the words of Balliante’s Managing Directors:

“Being named as small business of the year is a huge honour, and I feel incredibly proud that the hard work and dedication shown by our team has been recognised in this way. When we relocated our business to Rotherham Town Centre, we wanted to play a small part in contributing to the regeneration efforts of the town. We’ve enjoyed a significant period of growth during the past twelve months, not just supporting fellow businesses in South Yorkshire, but we’ve also seen demand for our services increase from customers across Europe and the US.

It’s been an incredible 12 months for Balliante, and as more businesses adopt new forms of technology in their day-to-day business, I think we are well-placed to continue our growth journey in the future.”

This sentiment captures the essence of Balliante’s success: the balance of local commitment and global ambition.

Technology at the Heart of Transformation

Balliante’s philosophy has always been simple: empower businesses with technology that works for them—not the other way around.

Across the year, Balliante has expanded its services to help organisations navigate the ever-growing demands of digital transformation. From cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure to fully customised CRM systems, WordPress platforms, automation tools, and managed IT services, Balliante continues to push the boundaries of what a modern MSP can offer.

What makes the company unique is not only its technical expertise, but the personal touch. Clients don’t just receive technical solutions—they receive guidance, strategic insight, and long-term partnership. It’s this combination that has helped Balliante stand out in a crowded industry and build trust with customers not only across South Yorkshire, but also internationally.

A Team Built on Talent, Innovation, and Shared Purpose

While technology is a core part of Balliante’s DNA, the real driving force behind the company is its people. The award is a tribute to a team that consistently delivers above and beyond expectations—whether that’s responding to urgent issues late at night, developing bespoke tools that revolutionise clients’ internal processes, or contributing creative ideas that shape the company’s future.

Every department, every role, and every individual has contributed to the growth story that led to this award. The commitment to innovation is not just a business goal—it’s embedded in the company culture.

Supporting South Yorkshire’s Business Community

Winning Business of the Year is not just a celebration of Balliante’s internal achievements; it’s a recognition of the company’s commitment to supporting the region’s economic growth.

Balliante’s partnerships with local businesses have helped organisations modernise their IT systems, strengthen security, streamline workflows, and operate more efficiently. By offering enterprise-grade solutions accessible to businesses of all sizes, Balliante has played a meaningful part in enabling the South Yorkshire business community to thrive.

The relocation to Rotherham Town Centre was more than a strategic business move—it was a statement of intent. As the town continues its regeneration efforts, Balliante is proud to be one of the companies contributing to that positive change.

Expanding Beyond Borders

While the team remains firmly rooted in its Yorkshire values, Balliante’s influence has spread far beyond the region. This year saw rising demand for services from customers across Europe and the United States—proof that the company’s focus on quality and innovation resonates internationally.

This global expansion demonstrates something important: exceptional IT solutions can be built anywhere, including right here in Rotherham. And Balliante is living proof that a small business with big ideas can have a worldwide impact.

Looking Ahead: A Future Full of Opportunity

Winning Business of the Year is both a milestone and a launchpad. The increasing adoption of cloud technology, automation, AI integration, and advanced cybersecurity means businesses across the world need reliable, forward-thinking IT partners—and Balliante is excellently positioned to meet that demand.

The next chapter promises to be even more exciting. With ongoing product development, enhanced service offerings, and continued investment into people and technology, Balliante is preparing for another year of innovation, growth, and community impact.
