It’s been a fantastic year for 101 Data Solutions. We’ve celebrated award wins, welcomed new members to the 101 team, and worked closely with our customers to shape and deliver data strategies that help them get the most from their data. Alongside this, we’ve continued to stay ahead of emerging technologies, ensuring we provide high-impact, future-ready data solution.
Here are just a few highlights from our year.
A year of nominations, finalists and wins
It’s been a standout year for 101 Data Solutions, with finalist placements across several prestigious awards, including the British Data Awards, the Network Computing Awards, the Computing Security Awards, and The Stockies.
We were thrilled to take home Distributor of the Year at the Network Computing Awards and Security Reseller of the Year at the 2025 Computing Security Awards. A special highlight was seeing our own Dan Luxton recognised as ‘One to Watch’ at the Network Computing Awards. These achievements reflect our continued commitment to delivering high-standard, high-impact security solutions for our clients.
Being recognised alongside such exceptional companies is an honour. and taking home three major awards this year is something we’re incredibly proud of.
101 Data dream team continues to grow
The award winning 101 Data team has continued to grow this year, and we were delighted to welcome Adam Case, who has flourished in his role as Account Manager. With over a decade of sales experience, Adam has quickly become a key part of the team, building strong relationships with new clients while reconnecting with previous ones to ensure they receive the best data solutions for their organisation.
And we’re not stopping there, watch this space as the 101 Data team continues to grow next year.
LinkedIn highlight of the year
This post became one of our most engaging updates on LinkedIn this year, showing the power of authentic, human-led storytelling on social media. Rather than standard corporate content, this post offered a unique behind-the-scenes moment from a visit with our client the Marine Biological Association, where we were privileged to see Charles Darwin’s original signed copy of On the Origin of Species, a rare piece of scientific history that clearly captured people’s curiosity and imagination.
101 Data's top three webinars of 2025
This year, our Data Insights Webinar Series brought together expertise from across our partner network, delivering some of our most practical and engaging sessions yet. We began by exploring the real challenges of research-data growth with the Marine Biological Association, where Dan Lear and Brett Edgecombe shared a powerful case study on building sustainable, long-term data strategies. Throughout the year, we deepened the conversation around cyber resilience and modern data management through sessions with partners including Arcserve, Schneider Electric, CyberSmart, and Sendmarc, covering everything from DMARC enforcement and cloud storage optimisation to supply-chain risk and business-critical backup solutions.
Each session was shaped by the brilliant contributions of our speakers, customers, and partner experts who delivered real-world examples, honest insights, and practical steps organisations could take immediately. Whether supporting IT leaders, law firms, or research institutions, our focus remained the same: offering clear, actionable guidance that helps businesses strengthen their cybersecurity posture and maximise the value of their data.
This year also saw some standout sessions that captured significant audience interest. Our top three most-viewed webinars were:

Across the year, we’ve welcomed hundreds of attendees live and on-demand—a reflection of the trust our clients and partners place in us, and the growing appetite for clear, practical data and cybersecurity guidance. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us, collaborated with us, or shared their expertise.
Together, we’ve built a strong community focused on smarter data strategy, stronger cyber hygiene, and future-ready resilience. And with even bigger topics on the horizon, we’re excited to deliver even more insight-driven sessions in the year ahead.
