WHY AZETS LOVE TRANSFORMATION AWARD
Of the 12 awards to be presented , the Digital Transformation category is the only one not specifically intended for tech firms .
Instead , it ’ s aimed at firms that , while not in the digital or technology field themselves , have made important advances within their businesses through the introduction of digital technology since 2021 .
And that spirit of transformation , say category sponsor Azets , all adds up when it comes to the firm sponsoring the award .
Andrew Rowe , office managing partner at Azets Wynyard , said : “ We love the Digital Transformation Award as it shows the positive impact tech can have on all types of businesses .”
