What Are the Prolific North Tech Awards?
The Prolific North Tech Awards are an annual awards ceremony held by Prolific North. The Tech Awards shine a spotlight on the incredible technology innovation happening across the North of England and Scotland. The awards celebrate the companies, teams and individuals who are shaping the future of tech in these areas.
A Positive & Supportive Work Environment for All
Best Workplace: Colewood Digital
We’re delighted to be shortlisted for Best Workplace at the Prolific North Tech Awards. It’s an honour that reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting our team.
We prioritise wellbeing and growth in many ways. We provide tailored development plans, our graduate scheme, and a 24/7 wellness hub with meditation, workouts, and stress management resources. Our flexible hours and hybrid working also give staff greater control over their schedules. This enables our staff to effectively manage stress and work around individual lifestyles and commitments.
Building a great work environment is not all about the office. We also have a range of employee benefits and perks for the staff members who join us. We make sure our team feels valued and rewarded with our Payday Pizza, staff socials, and more.
This recognition is a proud moment for us. It reminds us that a supportive, people-first culture is at the heart of Colewood Digital.
Earlier this year, we made the shortlist for Business of the Year at the Tees Tech Awards.
