Conscia Ireland celebrates major success at the Fortinet Partner Awards 2026, winning four awards and recognising engineering excellence and customer impact.

Conscia Ireland is proud to announce a standout performance at the recent Fortinet Ireland partner awards 2026, securing four awards in recognition of its expertise, innovation, and commitment to customer success.

Having been shortlisted across five competitive categories, the team delivered an exceptional outcome on the night, taking home awards for:

• Managed services partner of the year
• Public sector partner of the year
• Ireland channel partner engineer of the year – Martin Power
• Professional services partner of the year

These achievements reflect the strength of Conscia Ireland’s partnership with Fortinet, as well as our continued focus on delivering secure, scalable, and high-performing solutions to customers across Ireland.

Recognition for engineering excellence

A particular highlight of the evening was the recognition of Martin Power, who was awarded Ireland channel partner engineer of the year 2025.

Martin was selected from a highly competitive field of over 130 nominations, underscoring the significance of this achievement within the industry.

This award recognises individuals who consistently demonstrate technical excellence, innovation, and a commitment to delivering outstanding outcomes for customers. Martin’s contribution reflects a deep expertise in Fortinet technologies combined with a strong focus on customer success and collaboration.

In addition to this award, Martin holds Fortinet’s highest level of technical certification, NSE 8 Expert. This is a distinction achieved by only three professionals in Ireland, including fellow Conscia engineer Mike Lacey.

Within Conscia, Martin is a member of the Professional Services team of seasoned Fortinet specialists that also collected the Professional services Partner of the year award.

A testament to teamwork and partnership

The awards highlight the collective effort of the Conscia Ireland team across managed services, professional services, and public sector delivery. They also reinforce the importance of the long-standing partnership with Fortinet in helping organisations strengthen security, simplify infrastructure, and adapt to evolving digital demands.

Speaking on the achievement, the Conscia Ireland team emphasised that these awards are not only a reflection of technical capability but also of a continued commitment to delivering measurable business outcomes for customers.
