Storm and TechSPARK: supporting the digital community

By Holly Breckon

We’re pleased to announce that Storm is now a principal supporter and sponsor of TechSPARK, the leading Tech and Digital hub for the South West.

Storm has been involved in TechSPARK since its early days of launching, and we are very proud to have watched it develop over the years. From the number of events they regularly host to the hugely popular SPARKies Awards, what was initially a small group of local techies has now developed into a substantial regional business hub.

Storm CEO, David Kelly, explains: “TechSPARK is a great community for digital and tech businesses in the area. We’ve been a supporter of TechSPARK pretty much since its inception, so we’re really excited to be able to continue that support and become a principal sponsor throughout 2020. We look forward to getting much more involved in everything that’s going on across the region – you’ll be seeing our faces around more often that’s for sure!”

Having recently met with TechSPARK’s Managing Director, Ben Shorrock, we can see there are plenty of exciting opportunities coming up and we look forward to seeing the community grow. 

Ben says: “We’re really excited to be deepening our relationship with Storm as they continue in their 10th year of business. The Storm team were integral in the launch of TechSPARK when we first started as they could see the need for connecting the community and learning together. It’s great we’re able to build on that relationship and continue to make Bristol & Bath the most connected tech ecosystem in the UK.”

In addition to working more closely with TechSPARK, Storm is also about to launch a huge environmental project.

David explains: “We’re launching a really exciting initiative very soon which we will be sharing with the business community. It would be great to get as many of the TechSPARK community involved as possible so watch this space…”

Storm will be officially announcing this project on Tuesday 10th March.
