This prestigious accolade follows Digital Space’s previous win as UK Managed Services Provider of the Year in 2023 and marks a continued trajectory of excellence and growth.

Selected by Fortinet for the team’s performance and impact in customer businesses, the award reflects Digital Space’s long-standing commitment to delivering advanced security and networking solutions to customers across the UK and Europe.

“We were over the moon to receive this recognition,” said Richard Beeston, Chief Technology & Operations Officer at Digital Space. “This award is the result of years of effort across our entire business, from technical teams and customer support to solution design and innovation. It’s not just about a single project; it’s about the way we’ve continuously evolved to meet customer needs and stayed in lockstep with Fortinet’s technology roadmap.”

Fortinet’s recognition comes off the back of several high-impact deployments, including a major national rollout for Motor Fuel Group, where Digital Space delivered zero-touch SD-WAN provisioning to hundreds of locations with minimal operational disruption, reducing the transition time to under 10 minutes. This innovative approach set new benchmarks in deployment time and customer satisfaction.

Key to Digital Space’s continued success has been its strategic focus on Secure Networking, including early investment in emerging technologies such as SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) and SD-WAN, resulting in a highly collaborative partnership with Fortinet and exclusive distributor Exclusive Networks.

“What sets us apart is not just technical capability, but the way we work in lock-step with our customers, Fortinet, and distribution partners,” Beeston added. “We build long-term relationships grounded in trust and outcomes, not just transactions.”

Digital Space’s relationship with Fortinet spans more than seven years, maturing significantly through joint innovation, collaborative go-to-market strategies, and ongoing technical enablement. For example, a recent Customer Advisory Board held by Digital Space is helping to shape its future roadmap in SASE and advisory-led services, including offerings such as virtual CISO support.

“Winning this award is an affirmation that our strategy, focusing deeply on understanding customers’ operations and solving their pain points, with carefully selected technology partners like Fortinet is working. It’s validation that our customers are getting the best security outcomes in the market today.”
