Unit 3 Marcus Close, Reading RG30 4EB Thames Valley success in Queen's Awards
The Berkshire-based company Agento, which trades as Revector – a leading UK specialist in detecting and eliminating mobile network operator fraud – has scored a double success in this year’s Queen’s Awards for Enterprise.
The company, based at Finchampstead, has chalked up 315% growth in overseas earning since 2009, winning reward in both the Innovation and International Trade sections of the Queen’s Awards programme.
Revector was founded in 2001 and has worked with mobile operators in more than 75 countries helping to reduce some of the estimated $58
billion of fraud and mis-billing on mobile networks.
This year it has launched a series of new initiatives, including its “Locate and Eliminate” service that enables mobile network operators to determine the physical location of fraudsters to a single building or office, enabling authorities to make arrests and seize equipment.
Agento was one of only three Berkshire concerns in this year’s Awards list, which honoured 209 companies across the UK. Element Six based at Ascot received the award for Innovation, while the Greenham Common Community Trust at Newbury was recognised

The Greenham Trust’s award was for its Innovation Centre – “a commercial development capable of producing a secure, sustainable income stream that supports the local voluntary sector, charitable, educational and environmental projects”.
