Ashfords is once again supporting the SPARKies Awards 2026, the flagship annual gathering of the South West's tech community organised by TechSPARK.
The SPARKies brings together more than 400 founders, investors and technology professionals, and has become one of the most significant markers in the region's technology calendar, recognising the companies, individuals and ideas shaping the South West's digital economy.
Chris Dyson, head of the technology sector at Ashfords, said: "We work with businesses at the point where ambition meets complexity, helping founders and investors put the right structures and foundations in place to scale with confidence. The South West’s technology sector is a strength for the region and the SPARKies is always a great opportunity to reflect the progress and exciting businesses emerging from the region."
Ashfords' technology team advises high-growth businesses at every stage, from early funding rounds through to international expansion and exits, working closely with founders, investors and scaling businesses. The team is actively involved in the incubators, innovation hubs and networks that underpin the tech community, and support for events like the SPARKies reflects Ashfords' broader commitment to connecting and supporting the founders and investors driving change.
