Kocho make the MSP 501 list for 2026

To once again be named on the list reflects the way our managed services deliver for our clients. Helping them modernise their Microsoft estates and stay secure as those environments grow more complex.

Behind that is the continued investment we’re making across our core services, from identity and Microsoft Security to managed detection and response, and the day-to-day support that keeps our clients’ Microsoft cloud environments running smoothly.

Hannah Birch, CEO at Kocho, said:

“A place on the MSP 501 is a strong endorsement of the work our teams deliver every day. Our strength comes from the relationships behind that work: trusted teams, deep identity expertise, and a clear focus on helping clients stay secure and get more from their Microsoft environment. That is why so many continue to choose Kocho year after year.”

It’s a credit to the teams behind those services, and to the clients who’ve trusted us to grow alongside them.

We’re treating the recognition as a prompt to keep raising the standard. The market our clients operate in is shifting quickly, particularly around AI and the threat landscape, and the standard for good managed services is rising with it.

Our focus through the rest of 2026 is on keeping pace with that shift on behalf of the clients who trust us to do so.

About the MSP 501

Published by Channel Futures and now in its 19th year, the MSP 501 is the longest-running and most comprehensive benchmark in the managed services sector. It recognises providers driving growth, innovation, and operational excellence across the channel, from fast-scaling firms to established leaders.

What began as a simple ranking has evolved into a data-rich annual report tracking how the top MSPs are scaling, where they are investing, and what is driving performance across the global channel.

Our thanks go to our clients, partners, and the Kocho team. Here’s to building on it through the rest of 2026 and beyond.
