Ghyston Sponsor the Innovation and Technology Category at the 2022 Business Leader Awards

Earlier this year, we were delighted to be awarded the Family Business Award at the Business Leader Awards. As a company founded by wife and husband team Emily and Ric Hill, who have built a business around the core values of collaboration and teamwork and consider their workforce as their second family, this award was a fantastic win for us.

We were keen to continue our partnership with this prestigious, high-profile event by sponsoring the Innovation & Technology Award at next year’s awards. The awards bring together the most influential leaders in business, education and government to recognise and celebrate business success, supported by the area’s most influential professionals and advisors, so we are excited to become a sponsor.   

Our sponsorship role will also enable us to be part of the judging panel for the event. We are looking forward to working with the other judges to showcase the brilliant businesses and people of the South West. There is a renewed focus on technology investment as we come out of the pandemic, so we are sure the Innovation & Technology category will be very competitive. 

This award offers a brilliant opportunity for South West companies and entrepreneurs to celebrate the innovative ways they use technology to solve business challenges and propel their growth, something we’re incredibly passionate about here at Ghyston. We can’t wait to read the entries!  

Founder of the Business Leader Awards, Andrew Scott, said: “Ghyston were worthy winners of the Family Business Award at last year’s event, and I am delighted that they have joined us as a sponsor.”   

We wish all the entrants the best of luck next year. We may even enter a few categories ourselves; watch this space!
