Accesso Honoured with Queen's Award for Enterprise

-  Second Queens Award for accesso -

accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology solutions provider to leisure, entertainment and cultural markets, has been named a winner of a Queen's Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category, in recognition of the Company's queueing solution, accesso LoQueue_sm.

The accesso LoQueue virtual queuing solutions allow guests to reserve their place in line for a given attraction using a proprietary handheld device, smart phone or RFID wristband. Once the guest makes a reservation they are then free to enjoy all the park has to offer until it is their turn, resulting in happier guests and increased revenues for the venues. 

The Queen's Awards for Enterprise are the highest official UK awards for British businesses, and recognise those which excel in international trade, innovation or sustainable development. This award marks the second time accesso has been honoured, winning in the International Trade category in 2011.   

Commenting, Tom Burnet, Chief Executive Officer of accesso Technology Group plc said:

"We are immensely proud to receive this prestigious award for a second time. Our commitment to innovation is at the forefront of our strategy and at the heart of our vision. The strength of our technology has helped us become the leading provider of virtual queuing and ticketing solutions for venues around the world and we are proud to be recognised for our efforts."
