LEO won Best Learning Technologies Supplier Award, UK, with Virtual College taking silver, and HT2 Labs bronze.

The judges' thoughts were straightforward: “LEO's entry scores on every level and is very compelling. They have thought deeply about how to be the best. LEO said it wanted to do more than just deliver learning, winning tenders based on price. It says it wanted to delight customers and build loyalty through creativity and quality in even the most challenging projects.”
