Thinc insights
We’re celebrating our latest award as we picked up the prize for Growth Partner of the Year at the annual Sage Future for Partners summit in Barcelona.
It’s official – Thinc has been named among the best Sage partners in Europe at Sage’s annual Celebrating Partner Excellence awards.
At a ceremony in Barcelona, we were presented with the prize for Growth Partner of the Year for UK and Ireland, in recognition of our growing practice.
As a long-standing partner to Sage, with more than 30 years of experience in its solutions, we’re delighted that Sage continues to recognise the quality of Thinc’s approach to supporting small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with scalable technology.
On hearing the news of the award, Gary McKnight, Head of Commercial (Sage) at Thinc, said:
“Being named Growth Partner of the Year for UKI by Sage is a fantastic honour for us at Thinc. It’s a testament to the expertise and experience across our consultancy, support, account management and commercial teams, and is particularly satisfying given the length of our collaboration with Sage, which stretches back more than three decades.
“For our customers, this award confirms what many of them tell us – that we’re a Sage partner that puts their people and ambitions at the heart of any solution. For any organisation that needs help managing growth or unlocking productivity, our recognitions from Sage are evidence that we understand those challenges and will work closely with you to overcome them with our holistic technology approach.”
At Thinc, we’re proudly independent. This means we can proactively research, select and refine the tools that we believe will deliver the best value for ambitious SMEs. We never recommend a solution unless it’s perfect for your goals.
We choose to offer Sage solutions as we believe they are ideal for the types of organisation we love to work with. We’re excited by working with customers who, like us, are ambitious and who value the benefit of long-term, collaborative relationships. The solutions we recommend must enable their growth and empower their people.
That’s why we recommend Sage 200, a leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) tool for SMEs with a huge range of modules and integrations available, and Sage Intacct, the best financial accounting tool for growing organisations.
This latest award is not our first recognition from Sage. In recent years, we’ve also received its partner award for Service Excellence. We’ve been working with Sage technologies for more than 30 years, serving UK SMEs from our Manchester, Newcastle and London offices, and, since 2024, North American organisations from our base in Toronto.
What helps us stand out as a customer-focused partner is the breadth of complementary relationships we’ve fostered – these allow us to shape a holistic business solution to every need. These include:
We also have our own dedicated practices for:
Of the 400+ organisations working with Thinc today, 99% report the highest levels of satisfaction, and 95% stay with us year on year. Our AmplifyTM Framework, developed and proven over decades of working with growing businesses, ensures our customers’ needs are at the heart of every project and long-term partnership.
Customers who already have Sage solutions in place when they switch to Thinc report greater capability – for example, the team at Sure Retail unlocked more potential from Sage 200 as we took on their support amplified the power of their system.
Here are some of the successes our customers have achieved with Sage technologies:
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some of our customers using Sage solutions say.
“While our capacity has increased, the team size has decreased. We can now turn over a lot more orders on a daily basis with fewer people.” Bianca Ford, Operations Director, Yapp Brothers
“There are time savings in payroll, journals and other processes, which are automated now. Thinc has built us a bespoke system, and the team there has been at our side from implementation to helpdesk support.” Alison Humphreys, Managing Director, Roften Galvanizing
“We’re not just a number to Thinc, we are a unique organisation and they understand our challenges. It’s just a holistic partnership approach.” Steve Ball, Managing Director, Electronic Reading Systems
“I’ve looked at many different partners in Finland, Sweden and now the UK over the past decade, and I have to say that, in making that comparison, I have a very favourable view of Thinc.” Kristian von Bonsdorff. Managing Director, Krogab
“How would I describe Thinc in three words? Reliable, fair and efficient.” Sarah Fitzpatrick, Finance Manager, Prism DCS
