On 20th October more than 350 people gathered at Newcastle Civic Centre’s Banqueting Hall for the third year of the Dynamites awards.
Dynamites is the region’s only IT and technology awards that highlight the growing strength of the North East digital industry.
“The awards are a perfect way to showcase the remarkable strength of our sector here in the North East.” -Charlie Hoult, Chair of Dynamo

GREAT HOST= GREAT NIGHT
The event was hosted by North East TV actor Daymon Britton.
AN EXPLOSIVE THEME
The awards opted for an eye-catching orange theme running throughout which was complemented with dazzling crystal chandeliers.
Of course, the trophies for the winners were of the same standard. Appropriately, they took the shape of dynamite sticks whilst being kept sleek with a simple black and orange colour theme on a chrome background.
Our CEO Pete was one of the many hopefuls who participated in the celebrations. He was joined by our friends from Sage to observe and indulge in the awards dinner.
Stu Lynn from Sage presented the award for Future Workforce to Tech for Life.
