Nomical, a leading IT services and solutions provider based in Manchester, has been named Family Business of the Year 2024 in the prestigious Business Awards UK. Additionally, Nomical was also named the winner in the Technology Award category cementing its reputation as a leader in the tech industry. Nomical was awarded the Tech Visionary Award which honours a company that has consistently demonstrated foresight, innovation and ambition in the tech industry.
Founded 18 years ago by brothers Jon and Simon Dunning, Nomical has established itself as a cornerstone of Manchester’s thriving tech sector. The Family Business of the Year award honours the company’s journey from a small family venture to a respected name in IT services powered by family-driven entrepreneurship and dedication to customer service. The Technology Award recognises Nomical’s innovative solutions and contributions to advancing technology within the industry.
Allan Casten CEO for Nomical commented on the recent recognition: “These awards are a testament to the hard work and commitment of not just our family, but our entire team who have played a huge part in Nomical’s journey. From day one, our goal has been to provide top-tier IT services while maintaining the personal touch. At Nomical, we hit the sweet spot where the senior team and founders are hands-on and readily available. Our clients have direct access to the business owners, offering unprecedented levels of accessibility to ensure that our clients receive the attention and support they need, right from their initial stages as a small site to becoming a large-scale operation.”
He continues: “We have a comprehensive and fiercely experienced IT team and multiple locations across the UK. Nomical offers the same incredible service to an ambitious start up on the start of their journey through to established multi-site operators. As our clients grow, their requirements may change, but our commitment to knowing their history and providing tailored support remains constant.”
Nomical’s success can be attributed to its steady growth over nearly two decades, built on a foundation of technical expertise and an understanding of client needs. The company has cultivated a loyal customer base throughout the UK thanks to its personalised approach to IT solutions and commitment to service excellence; long-standing clients include Pure Gym and The Gym Group.
Predominantly servicing the burgeoning leisure sector, Nomical has achieved great success by helping start-ups and multi-site operators scale across the UK. More specifically, Nomical has supported The Gym Group and Pure Gym since they first launched their first gyms and now the Manchester-based team supports over 600 gyms nationwide.
Nomical’s approach is not just about solving immediate IT problems; it’s about being a partner in their client’s success, helping them navigate the ever-changing technology landscape with confidence and expertise.
Allan added: “Understanding that most SMEs lack in-house IT expertise, we have positioned ourselves as a trusted partner for start-ups and scaling multi-site operators. We acutely recognise that these businesses often feel like small fish in a big pond when dealing with large IT companies, which can make them feel overlooked and undervalued. Despite our growth, our family-business values remain at the heart of the business. We’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come and are excited for the future.”
The Business Awards UK judges highlighted Nomical’s impressive longevity in a rapidly evolving industry, its ability to adapt and grow while maintaining strong family leadership, and its technological innovations that set it apart from competitors.
This awards come hot on the heels of the recent shortlist for Nomical in the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, which are announced in November.
