Presenting to the 2017 panel of judges the company was given the Judges’ Leadership Award recognising the efforts of chief executive, Neil Turvin as the driving force behind Godel’s growth. Godel is one of the fastest growing tech companies in the North and is amongst the region's high growth achievers.
Compiled by GP Bullhound the European technology investment bank, the awards recognise the entrepreneurs and businesses that have led the growth of the Northern digital economy in the past year.

Of these, 19 were recognised within the top 50 fastest growing companies. This represents an increase on the 12 software businesses included in the top 50 last year, increasing the sector’s total share to 38 per cent in 2017.
Godel, a nearshore software development company, reported its annual turnover had reached over £9 million for the year to December 2016 - a 62% increase in turnover from the same period last year when revenues reached over £5.5 million.
