SmartCo shortlisted in two Growing Business Awards 2026 categories

We’re delighted to share that SmartCo has been shortlisted in two categories at the Growing Business Awards 2026:

  • B2B Business of the Year
  • Growing Business of the Year

The B2B Business of the Year category celebrates organisations delivering exceptional value, innovation and growth in business-to-business markets, while Growing Business of the Year recognises companies demonstrating strong performance, ambition and sustainable growth within one of the UK’s most competitive business regions.

Being shortlisted is fantastic recognition for the progress SmartCo has made over the last few years and the impact we’re enabling our clients to achieve.

While we’re proud of this achievement, the journey isn’t over yet. The next stage of the process will see our team take part in the awards judging day in September, before the winners are announced at the awards ceremony in London this November.

A huge thank you to our clients, partners and everyone across SmartCo who has contributed to our growth and success. We look forward to representing SmartCo at the next stage of judging and celebrating alongside some of the UK’s most exciting growing businesses.


Good luck Team SmartCo!

SmartCo launches first white paper in new AI series

SmartCo has launched the first in a new white paper series exploring the real-world challenges and opportunities organisations face as AI adoption accelerates. The first paper, The Delivery Intelligence Gap: Why organisations are accumulating Delivery Intelligence Debt and how to close the gap with AI, examines how businesses can move beyond productivity gains and begin building the structured delivery intelligence needed for long-term success. The paper marks the start of a broader thought leadership series focused on enabling organisations to navigate AI. The series will look at the operational, delivery and governance questions leaders need to address if they want AI to create sustainable business value. Callum Campbell, Head of Clients & Growth at SmartCo, said: ‘This series is about helping organisations have a more practical conversation about AI. There is a lot of energy around the technology, but the real question is how that momentum translates into better decisions, stronger delivery and lasting organisational learning. We wanted to start by addressing one of the most important gaps we are seeing in the market.’ Callum Campbell, Head of Clients & Growth at SmartCo Sahar Khan, Transformation and AI expert in financial services added: ‘What matters now is not just whether teams are using AI, but whether they are using it in a way that improves how delivery is run, understood and governed. That is where many organisations still have work to do, and it is where this paper aims to offer a practical and experience-led perspective.’ Sahar Khan, Transformation and AI expert in financial services
