Leeds tech roundup, week of 6 Apr
A quiet week in Leeds tech by volume, but two stories worth noting. GP Bullhound published the Northern Tech Awards Top 100 shortlist, and a Yorkshire-based comparison platform made its national broadcast debut on ITVX.
Community & events
- Northern Tech Awards GP Bullhound released the Top 100 shortlist for this year's Northern Tech Awards, recognising the fastest-growing tech companies across the North of England. The list is a useful barometer of which businesses are scaling rather than just raising, and Leeds-based firms have historically featured prominently. No full breakdown of Leeds entries was published alongside the announcement, but the shortlist is worth scanning if you want a read on who is growing in the region. The awards ceremony date has not been confirmed in the source material. (Google News)
Product & launches
- Hi-tech Yorkshire comparison site A Yorkshire-based comparison platform launched its first national TV campaign, appearing on ITVX, according to Prolific North. The move signals a step up in marketing ambition for a business that has operated largely below the national radar until now. Comparison sites are a crowded space, and a broadcast campaign suggests the company has the budget and the confidence to compete at scale. Prolific North did not name the specific platform in the headline, so check the full piece for the company name and category. (Prolific North)
