Last night saw the region’s tech sector reunite to celebrate the winners at the Prolific North Tech Awards 2021.

Hosted at Manchester’s Science and Industry Museum, the event brought together influential figures from the digital sphere to find out who was a winner.

The ceremony was compered by BBC presenter Gavin Ramjaun, who ran through the 19 categories recognising the businesses, teams and individuals taking the North’s tech sector to the next level.
