Postcode Anywhere going places with nominations

Worcester-based web-services company Postcode Anywhere has been nominated for three prestigious awards.

The company will find out today if it has been successful in the National Business Awards at the Grosvenor House hotel in London.

Hosted by political commentator and journalist Andrew Marr, the event will be attended by speakers such as HRH The Earl of Wessex and Business Secretary Lord Mandelson.

Postcode Anywhere is a finalist in the Orange Best Use of Technology in Business category, after winning the Midlands and the East of England regional finals. Before the directors have time to hang-up their dinner jackets they will also be attending the West Midlands ICT Awards for Excellence on Thursday at the National Motorcycle Museum.

The company submitted two products in the “Most Innovative Service” category and both have been shortlisted.
