We are delighted to announce that EquiTech is a Gold Sponsor of the SME Northamptonshire Business Awards 2027, sponsoring the High Growth Business of the Year category.

This sponsorship is particularly special for the EquiTech team. Having proudly won Gold in the High Growth Business of the Year category, they know first-hand just how much recognition at the SME Northamptonshire Business Awards can mean to a growing business and its team.

The High Growth Business of the Year category shines a spotlight on businesses that are demonstrating exceptional growth, ambition and potential.

Now, rather than simply celebrating their own success, they are excited to give something back by supporting the very category that recognised EquiTech’s journey.

Welcoming Two New Judges to the Panel

We are also delighted that Adrian Richings, New Business Director and Founder, and Simon Portwain, MD and Founder, will be joining the judging panel for the 2027 awards.

Both bring valuable experience as business founders and leaders, with a strong understanding of what it takes to build, develop and grow a successful organisation.

Their experience will add an exciting perspective to the judging process, particularly within a category focused on high-growth businesses. From strategy and leadership to commercial performance and future potential, we’re looking forward to seeing the expertise they bring to the panel.
