A huge thank you to our silver sponsor, Ward Hadaway, for their valued support in helping us celebrate excellence across our staff community for the second year in a row.
Emma Wolstenholme, marketing projects executive at Ward Hadaway said: “It's important for us to sponsor the NEAS In the Spotlight Awards 2026 as it aligns with our commitment to supporting excellence, celebrating achievement, and recognising the incredible work happening across the sector. The event provides a valuable opportunity to champion innovation and connect with others who share our values.
“On the night, we're looking forward to celebrating the finalists and winners, hearing their inspiring stories, and networking with industry peers in such a positive and uplifting environment.”
We’re also proud to welcome back Teesside University for the third year, as a bronze sponsor and thank you to our second bronze sponsor, Explain Marketing. Their backing helps make this special event possible.
Together, their support enables us to recognise the outstanding achievements, dedication and impact of our staff – and we couldn’t do it without them.
We can’t wait to come together next month to celebrate our incredible colleagues.
