TwentyFour Named Finalists in Two Categories at Global MSP Titans of the Industry Awards

TwentyFour has been named as a finalist in two categories at the 2026 MSP Titans of the Industry Awards, recognising our continued global growth and success. 

TwentyFour IT Services has been shortlisted in the EMEA MSP category, while TwentyFour Founder and CTO, Tony Houlihan, has also been recognised in the Veteran Owned/Led category. 

The MSP Titans of the Industry Awards celebrate Managed Service Providers and industry leaders from around the world, with entries assessed across areas including business growth, service excellence, cyber security innovation, customer impact, community impact and leadership. 

For TwentyFour, being recognised across two categories reflects both how far the business has grown and the values that continue to underpin how we work. 

Recognition for TwentyFour across EMEA 

Our place as a finalist in the EMEA MSP category recognises TwentyFour’s continued growth and development as an IT support and cyber security provider supporting businesses across the UK and internationally, currently supporting businesses with locations in 19 countries. 

From our roots in Doncaster, TwentyFour has grown to support businesses across a wide range of industries and locations, providing 24/7/365 IT support, cyber security, cloud and compliance services. 

As the technology needs of our clients have grown and evolved, so have we. Our focus remains on combining the right technology with knowledgeable people and long-term relationships, helping businesses strengthen their IT environments while making technology easier to manage, understand, and ultimately… work for them, through our in depth “know your client” approach, regular reviews and vCIO (Virtual Chief Information Officer) guidance. 

Mike Smith, Managing Director at TwentyFour, said: 

“Being named as a finalist in the EMEA category is something the whole team can be incredibly proud of. TwentyFour has grown significantly, but what matters most to us is that we have been able to do that without losing the focus on our clients and the service we provide. 

“To receive recognition at a global industry awards alongside MSPs from around the world is a fantastic achievement. It reflects the work our team puts in every day and the trust our clients continue to place in us.” 

Tony Houlihan, Chief Technical Officer at TwentyFour, added: 

“When we started the business, the ambition was always to build something that combined strong technical capability with a genuine commitment to our community and to the people and businesses we support, wherever they may be. 

“To now see TwentyFour shortlisted as a finalist in the EMEA MSP category on a global stage is a proud moment. Technology has changed enormously over the years, but our focus on doing the right thing for our clients, investing in our people and continually improving has remained the same.” 

 

Recognising Veteran Leadership 

TwentyFour has also been shortlisted within the Veteran Owned/Led category, recognising the veteran background and leadership of Founder and Chief Technical Officer Tony Houlihan. 

Tony’s leadership has played an incredibly important role in shaping TwentyFour into the business we are today, from the standards we set for ourselves to the importance placed on teamwork, responsibility, looking after the people around us and supporting military veterans to gain roles in business beyond their military careers. 

Those values are also reflected in TwentyFour’s commitment to the wider Armed Forces community. As a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant, we are proud to support the principles behind the Covenant and recognise the contribution made by serving personnel, veterans, reservists and Armed Forces families. And as partners, sponsors and supporters of Military Vs Cancer we aim to give back to our serving and veteran communities who are facing this terrible disease that has impacted members of our team both directly and indirectly. 

Today, Tony continues to lead the technical direction of the business, helping TwentyFour develop its cyber security capabilities, adopt new technologies and ensure our services continue to evolve alongside the changing needs of our clients. 

Tony Houlihan, Founder and Chief Technical Officer at TwentyFour, said: 

“My military background has influenced a lot of the principles I have carried into TwentyFour, particularly around teamwork, accountability and doing the job properly. 

“TwentyFour has always been about the team rather than any one person, so whilst being recognised in the Veteran Owned/Led category means a great deal to me, I am more proud of what we have built together and especially proud of the people who continue to push the business forward.” 

 

Heading to Beverly Hills for the Awards 

The winners of the 2026 MSP Titans of the Industry Awards will be revealed at the awards gala at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, on December 9th, 2026. 

Whatever the result on the night, even being named as a finalist on a global scale in both the EMEA MSP and Veteran Owned/Led categories represents important milestone for TwentyFour and recognition of the fantastic work our team do, our continued growth and the values that have helped us get here. 

We are incredibly proud to be representing Doncaster, South Yorkshire and the wider UK MSP industry on a global stage. 

Good luck to everyone shortlisted, and we will see you in Beverly Hills.
