I’m incredibly proud to share that Planet Sport has been named Growth Company of the Year at the Leeds Digital Festival Awards.
This recognition means a great deal to me personally, as it highlights the hard work, resilience, and innovative thinking that our team has demonstrated during a challenging time for the publishing industry.
Over the past 18 months, publishing has faced significant headwinds, and many businesses have struggled to find a path forward. Yet, we’ve managed not just to hold our ground, but to grow. That’s a testament to our team’s dedication and the innovative strategies that continue to drive us.
This award also reflects something larger—the vibrant tech ecosystem in Leeds. Companies across the city are redefining what’s possible in digital technology, and I’m thrilled that Planet Sport can contribute to that energy and collaboration.
Here’s a bit more about how we’ve approached these challenges, shared in my own words:
Leeds has always been an amazing hub for innovation, and events like the Leeds Digital Festival are a perfect reminder of the creativity and collaboration that drive this region. We’re proud to support that network and to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
Thanks for being part of this journey with us—there’s so much more to come.
Warm regards,
Barrie Jarrett
CEO, Planet Sport
