Sophos, a world
leader in anti-virus and anti-spam protection for businesses, has
won the "Best Managed Company" award at the Technology Industry
Awards 2003.
In the year 2001-2002, Sophos's management grew the company's
revenues by nearly 50 per cent, on a user base of over 20 million.
At the same time, the company has had strong employee growth and
now has a global headcount of 658.
"Sophos has achieved consistent growth over the last year and
for the third consecutive year we have outperformed the anti-virus
market as a whole," said Peter Lammer, joint-CEO for Sophos. "Our

networked corporate environments, backed up with round-the-clock
support. This award, and our success in business, is a clear
