Bristol Life Awards

Optimising IT were immensely proud to be a Platinum Sponsor at the 2025 Bristol Life Awards, held at the premier Ashton Gate venue. Three members of our team, Bradlei and Emma, attended the event, dressed up in glamorous attire along with our Managing Director Todd Gifford presenting the platinum award winners. We had a night of fun, laughter, delicious food and drink but most importantly connected with and supported hundreds of people across many different local businesses.

So, what are the Bristol Life Awards, and what does this event mean for local businesses in the city and the southwest of England? No matter if a company wins a platinum award, the Bar and Pub award, is celebrated as a winner for charitable work or among the rest of the nominees, being a part of the Bristol Life Awards is an accolade in itself. The awards event is organised by MediaClash, and all winners are decided by an elected panel of independent and impartial judges.

The showcase celebrates the best businesses in Bristol, with over 21 categories including Arts and Creative, Business Services, Employer, Leisure and Tourism and New Business. Categories and businesses will have sponsors which is a perfect opportunity to gain marketing exposure, network and build new B2B relationships, and Optimising IT was this year’s Platinum Sponsor.
