5Y Technology wins the 2025 Megabuyte Emerging Stars Award

We are thrilled to announce that 5Y was named the 2025 Emerging Stars Award's Best-Performing Information Management Company. We were also shortlisted for the Best-Performing Owner-Managed Company award.

The Emerging Stars awards are part of the Megabuyte100 award series, which collectively celebrate the 100 best-performing technology companies in the UK. The Emerging Stars awards identify the UK’s best-performing technology scale-ups as defined by Megabuyte’s proprietary Megabuyte Scorecard methodology overlaid with expert qualitative insights from analysts.

The award is even more special because of it's independent, thorough and objective assessment criteria.

This year, Megabuyte whittled down the 50 winners from a list of over 6000 companies that met Emerging Stars revenue criteria, with only 800 selected for consideration.

That means we can definitively say that 5Y is among the top 6% of scale-up technology companies in the UK.

5Y Chairman, Sam Sammour, said this of our success:

“Being recognised at the Emerging Stars Award is fantastic validation of our commitment to powering change through data. The award means even more because of Megabuyte’s independent, rigorous and objective assessment process, which confirms our impact in an incredibly competitive market dominated by global brands.”

But we’re not stopping there. Megabuyte’s analysis suggests 5Y is well placed to surpass the upper threshold for the Emerging Stars award revenue criteria and qualify for next year’s Megabuyte50 awards.

We want to thank our customers, partners and employees for making this possible. This award is a testament to the hard work of everyone involved in 5Y and proof that we are continuing to power change through data.
