Claim a place as one of Yorkshire’s Top Tech firms

The search for Yorkshire’s most dynamic and industry leading technology companies is on! And entries are open for the region’s finest to claim their place in the Yorkshire Top Tech.

Launched by the Leeds office of Mills & Reeve, in partnership with TheBusinessDesk.com, the Top Tech is designed to celebrate pioneering companies in the region that are putting Yorkshire on the map as a growing hub for technological development and innovation.

Yorkshire’s Top Tech is open to companies across the region operating in all tech sub sectors, including agritech, fintech, healthtech and edtech. We are looking for companies across all industries that are developing world leading technology, disrupting the market, or whose technology and services are giving their clients a competitive edge.

Entrants will be judged on technological innovation, leadership, growth and financial performance, client service and delivery and employee engagement.

The Top Tech follows the launch of Mills & Reeve’s Tech Tuesday – a monthly event dedicated to providing a regular opportunity for people in the Leeds tech ecosystem to meet up with existing contacts and make new ones over a drink or two.

The event is held at the Brewery Tap in Leeds. The next Tech Tuesday will take place on Tuesday, 18 September.

Shubhu Patil, principal associate in the corporate team at the Leeds office of Mills & Reeve, who has a focus on tech sector businesses, said: “Tech Tuesday has been a great success. It’s fantastic to see people from start-ups, established companies, funders and advisers coming together to share ideas to further develop the region’s technology hub.

“The Top Tech is a natural progression of this. We have seen so many cutting-edge and innovative companies in the region that we felt we needed to celebrate their success and showcase their achievements.”

The Top Tech judging panel includes:

Richard Carter, managing director, Equiniti Credit Services (previously CEO of Nostrum Group which was acquired by Equiniti in 2017)

Dr Mark Wyatt, investment director, Mercia Fund Managers

Richard Faulkner, managing director, Technology Banking at Silicon Valley Bank
