As a leader in the digital marketplace, who won the overall DL100 award in 2018, we’re delighted to be involved again in this celebratory week for sharing digital ideas and initiatives. Salford City Council is hosting a wide range of virtual sessions showcasing the range of digital solutions we used to help residents and businesses during the pandemic.
Another Salford leader, Naomi Timperley, is also hosting three Digital Leader events. Naomi is the co-founder of Tech North Advocates and has been in the top 50 Computer Weekly Most Influential Women in UK IT list in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
