We’re pleased to announce that the inaugural Northern E-Commerce Awards will be hosted by technology journalist, reporter and author Kate Russell.
Russell has been writing about technology and the Internet since 1995 and makes regular appearances on BBC technology programme Click.
Her website, KateRussell.co.uk, won the 2015 UK Blog Awards for best individual digital and technology blog and in June this year she was voted by Computer Weekly as one of the most influential woman in UK IT.
She will be hosting the first Northern E-Commerce Awards, which takes place in Manchester on Wednesday 21 September.
Launched in association with our headline partner UKFast, the event has been created by Don’t Panic Event Management and Prolific North.
Lawrence Jones
CEO of UKFast, Lawrence Jones MBE, added: “With arguably the largest network of ecommerce clients in the North it made perfect sense for UKFast to get behind this celebration of Northern British online talent.
“There is an extraordinary amount of tech talent in the North and ecommerce entrepreneurs play a huge part in this success of this quest.”
For further information about the evening or to book tickets, please visit our dedicated site or contact Don’t Panic on 01706 828855 or email joe@dontpanicprojects.com.
