A note from Managing Director, Gavin Auckland
We are genuinely delighted to start 2026 by being named the Hillingdon Business Services Company of the Year 2026. It is a brilliant recognition for the business, and a moment the whole team is proud of.
The timing makes it even more special. We have recently moved into our new office, a space designed to support how we work today and where we are heading next. To receive this award alongside that milestone feels like a clear marker of progress and momentum.
This award reflects the work that happens every day at Parallel. It is about consistency, reliability, and doing things properly. It recognises a team that cares deeply about the service we deliver, the relationships we build, and the standards we hold ourselves to.
‘This is a strong and exciting way to begin 2026,’ says Managing Director Gavin Auckland. ‘We have invested in our people, our space, and our capabilities, and this award is a reflection of that effort. Every member of the team has played a part in getting us here.’
Being named Business Services Company of the Year highlights the role we play within the Hillingdon business community. From supporting local organisations with practical print, document, and workflow solutions to building long-term partnerships based on trust and understanding, our focus has always been on helping businesses work better, not just selling them technology.
The awards evening itself was a great celebration of the borough’s business community. It was inspiring to see so many organisations recognised for the work they are doing, and we were honoured to be among them. To come away with the top award was something we will remember for a long time.
Our new office is already making a real difference to how we work. It gives the team space to collaborate, plan, and innovate, and it supports the level of service and expertise our clients expect from us. It also reflects our ambition as a business and our commitment to continued growth.
‘This award gives us real confidence as we look ahead,’ Gavin adds. ‘We are excited about what the next chapter holds, from expanding our services to welcoming new team members and continuing to support our clients as their businesses evolve.’
As 2026 unfolds, our focus remains firmly on the future. We will continue to invest in our people, develop smarter and more secure solutions, and support businesses across Hillingdon and beyond with the same care and attention that has brought us to this point.
Thank you to our clients, partners, The Hillingdon Chamber of Commerce and the wider local business community for your continued trust and support. We are proud of this recognition and excited about what comes next. With our trophy on the shelf and our new office alive with possibilities, the future has never looked brighter!
