UK AGILE AWARDS SPONSORSHIP

The UK Agile Awards is a self-funding not-for-profit event with any profit being donated to Charity  so Sponsorship is a very important part of the success of the Awards.

We are very fortunate to have enjoyed sponsorship from across the UK Agile Community, and all of us involved in the UK Agile Awards recognise the vital role of active sponsorship and support, without which the UK Agile Awards would not be a success.

We thank all our sponsors for their support, and look forward to building on this together for the future. 

Further information regarding this year's Sponsors Benefit Package is now available.  If you are keen to receive this information please contact us.


We are delighted to announce that our Sponsors for 2012 are
