Accenture, Middlesbrough College and Sage are the North East Business Awards headline sponsors for 2022
The North East Business Awards give us the chance to celebrate businesses and individuals around the region - to recognise their work and achievements across a range of industries. We're thrilled to be holding the awards again this year - and the 2022 awards have three main sponsors: Accenture, Middlesbrough College and Sage.
Accenture
Allan King, Accenture’s North East operations lead, said: “The North East has always been a key region for us. Accenture has deep roots here, and as well as growing regionally, we are fully committed to growing the region through job creation, training and development in innovation and technology. The 海角视频 has a shortage of the tech skills needed to drive future growth and the North East is set to play a fundamental role in plugging this gap.
“This region has an outstanding pool of tech talent – we’ve seen that through our apprenticeship programme – and events such as the North East Business Awards are essential for showcasing this. We’re delighted to be playing a part in this year’s awards. The Innovation and Technology category perfectly aligns with our vision for the North East, and we’re incredibly excited to hear more about the innovation and technology being delivered right here on our doorstep.”
