Venue:
Insider celebrated for the tenth year, the best in Yorkshire's digital industry, when some of the region’s top talent attended the Insider Yorkshire Digital Awards 2009.
The black tie event, held at Savile's Hall at the Royal Armouries in Leeds, rewarded businesses with nine awards, which were judged by a panel of independent judges from across the industry.
And this year Insider introduced a new award too, the Best New Talent Award, for final year students in Yorkshire’s colleges and universities.
The evening was compèred by former BBC journalist and presenter Nik Wood and Simon Hill, executive director of business for Yorkshire Forward, delivered a keynote speech emphasising how far the industry has progressed since the awards were established a decade ago.
"What has amazed me is the size and speed of these changes," he said. "If you take a moment to think about what has been achieved in the last 20 years, and what could be achieved in the next 20 years, it really is frightening."
He added that the digital sector has a major role to play in creating prosperity for the region and will be the lifeblood of the economy for years to come.
