Staff at Leicester-based software development company, Draycir, have been celebrating this week after scooping a prestigious business award.

Company bosses collected the Sage 'ISV Partner of the Year Award' after being recognised for all-round excellence in software, service, marketing and business support.

Draycir adds this latest accolade to an already impressive line-up of awards for innovation and business success. The company was praised by buyers and end-users, winning the Paperless Office category in the recent Software Satisfaction Awards 2010. Draycir was also awarded a Software Developer Special Recognition Award by Sage in 2009.

Draycir's Robert Ball and Richard Reaveley accepted the latest award in front of some 400 industry professionals at a national conference in Milton Keynes on Wednesday evening (3 November).

Richard Reaveley, said: "Winning this award is an honour for Draycir. We pride ourselves on the quality of our products and for continually improving the service and support package we deliver with each one. To be recognised by Sage in this way is a fantastic reward for the hard work of all our staff."

Based in the centre of Leicester, the company has expanded its team by 50% in the last 12 months and currently employs 19 people. The Draycir team is set to increase further in the coming weeks with two new roles currently being advertised. 

Draycir's business software - Spindle Professional, Credit Hound and Credit Guardian - are used for document distribution, credit control and credit risk management. They integrate with Sage's business software, used by more than 760,000 businesses in the UK.
