SumProduct is pleased to announce that our MD, Liam Bastick, has been re-awarded Microsoft’s Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for Excel for 2018/19. This award recognises exceptional technical community leaders from around the world who voluntarily share their high quality, real world expertise with others. Microsoft MVPs are a highly select group of experts representing technology's best and brightest who share a deep commitment to community and a willingness to help others.

Worldwide, there are over 100 million participants in technical communities; of these participants, there are fewer than 4,000 active Microsoft MVPs. In Excel, c.100 people have received this award.

Microsoft’s MVP Award evaluates technical expertise and voluntary community contributions for the past year, considering the quality, quantity and level of impact of contributions. It’s a difficult award to attain and just as difficult to retain. This is Liam’s eighth consecutive award.

More regular readers may recall Sydney director Tim Heng is also an Excel MVP. He remains one until next June too as he was not evaluated in this cycle. It means we remain Double Trouble for Microsoft!

At SumProduct, you can rely on our experience and willingness to help.
