Derby entrepreneur sparks investment in trio of city companies

Derby tech entrepreneur Sean Price has invested an undisclosed five-figure sum in a newly-rebranded digital agency.

Price, who is currently a director at Derby-based RDS Global, has invested the cash in Spark Agency, which is run by Darren Dunn and has changed its name from Onex Marketing and moved into a city centre office at Citibase.

Price will join the Spark board as a non-executive director.

The move comes as Spark Agency announced a merger with web design firm DualityMedia – founded by University of Derby alumni Paul Harrison.

Price also revealed to TheBusinessDesk.com that he has invested in two more as yet unnamed companies. He said: “I’ve also invested cash into a marketing/PR firm that’s launching in the new year together with a software company which is already
launched.”
