A big congrats to Pat Phelan and the Cubic lads on Cubic Telecom’s winning the it@cork Leaders Award in the Emerging Company category.
Pat was up against some very stiff competition and I am glad I wasn’t involved in the judging ‘cos I know Tom Keane of Nitrosell and Paul and Frank from YouGetItBack as well as Pat and any of them would have been a great choice for the award.
The Awards night was a fantastic success and I think I can safely say that this is set to become an annual event.
Other winners on the night include Treemetrics, TCH, and Abtran.
John Collins did a really professional job as MC – his look back over the last 10 years brought waves of nostalgia.
If I had to criticise anything about the night it would be that the talks dragged a bit in the middle of the evening but this was due to the fact that it was a double celebration, the Awards and the 10th anniversary of it@cork’s inception. As such this is unlikely to be an issue in the next nine Awards nights!

A good night, you are right Tom it was a bit long. All worthy winners, a lot of reflection and celebration of past achievements, which is good.
One small gripe, a little short of aspiration for the future? Perhaps that’s a discussion for another day, we all had families to get back to.
