Northern Tech Awards 2019 to celebrate thriving digital firms

Growing technology companies are invited to follow in the footsteps of pioneering former winners at the Northern Tech Awards 2019, with entries still being accepted for this prestigious event, which takes place on the 28th March 2019 at the Albert Hall in Manchester.

Recognising the fastest growing companies in the North of the UK, the annual awards, hosted by GP Bullhound, aim to find, recognise and celebrate the biggest tech success stories, to be unveiled in the annual Northern Tech 100 League Table.

Those featured will be ranked by revenue growth over the last three years, with the Top 100 invited to receive an award at the invitation-only ceremony on Thursday 28 March 2019 at Manchester’s Albert Hall, in the presence of chief executives, entrepreneurs and business leaders from the region’s digital economy.

Previous winners include Skyscanner, Missguided, The Hut Group, Music Magpie, LADbible, Evolution Funding, and The Car Buying Group.

To qualify for entry to the Tech 100, companies must have at least three years of revenue growth with a minimum level of revenue of £500,000 in 2016. Northern Star entries are invited for early stage companies with revenues below this threshold.

Entries close on 22 February 2019.

An expert panel of judges will select seven companies worthy of special Judges’ Awards, to be presented at the event. The judges will also select an overall winner from the region’s top ten ‘Northern Stars’ – to recognise the very best early stage technology companies in the North.

The 2019 judging panel includes founding editor of WIRED, David Rowan; president of TechUK Jacqueline de Rojas CBE; head of M&A at Moneysupermarket Mark Gracey, serial entrepreneur Sherry Coutu CBE and other high-profile members of the tech community.
