11.07.24

UK law firm Ashfords is sponsoring the upcoming SPARKies Awards, continuing the firm’s long-term support of techSPARK and ambitious tech businesses and entrepreneurs.

The SPARKies awards, taking place on 11 July in Bristol, celebrates the best of tech in the West and is the largest tech awards ceremony outside London. The awards are run by techSPARK, which  is a not-for-profit growth network dedicated to helping the tech community share ideas and scale their business.

Ben Shorrock, MD of techSPARK, commented on the network’s relationship with Ashfords: "Without the support from some key people and organisations since the start, TechSPARK and TheSPARKies would not have grown into the success they are today. So a big thank you must go to Ashfords for its support over the past decade."

Chris Dyson, partner and head of the technology sector at Ashfords said: “We're delighted to support the SPARKies and continue our backing for the great tech companies and entrepreneurs in the South West, as well as the people and wider ecosystem supporting them. Ashfords is incredibly proud to have been involved with collaboration across the thriving tech community for many years, so we are looking forward to the opportunity to celebrate its continued development and success.”
