Fleet and asset management software company Jaama has been named professional and service business of the year in the Tamworth Business and Community Awards.

The inaugural Tamworth Business and Community Awards were organised by publishers Midlands Business News to celebrate “the very best in Tamworth”. The winners of the 14 award categories ranging from retailers to manufacturers to property and technology companies were revealed at a dinner at the Tower Suite, Drayton Manor Park.

Jaama, which is based inTamworth, has experienced year-on-year growth since it was launched almost 12 years ago. Last year it recorded a 17% increase in revenue as more organisations utilised web-enabled technology to manage their fleet and transport operations.

It now has some 50 staff and is reliant on the pool of local people to provide its skills base ranging from software developers to account managers and customer service executives.

Martin Evans, managing director of Jaama, said: “We are proud of our local roots and our business success is due to the talented employees that we have recruited from within the town and surrounding area. Our continual expansion means that we have a strong interest in the well-being of the Tamworth community.”
