Celerity Announced as Sponsor of the 2026 Oxygen Awards

We're proud to be sponsoring the inaugural Oxygen Awards, joining headline sponsor Nebula Global Services and fellow Gold sponsors QBS Software, KOcycle, Distology and AvePoint in backing an awards programme that celebrates excellence across the entire UK IT channel.

The Oxygen Awards are free to enter and free to attend, with entries closing on 9 October.

We've chosen to sponsor the Grow Your Own category, which recognises organisations making the biggest impact in attracting and developing new talent, whether that's graduates, apprentices, or people moving into tech from other sectors.

It's a category that speaks directly to how we think about growth at Celerity. We've always believed that investing in people is what builds long-term value, for individuals, for our business, and for the wider industry.

Nicky Dickinson, HR Director at Celerity, said:

"At Celerity, we are passionate about developing talent and creating opportunities for people to grow their careers from within.

 

As strong advocates of Early Careers and internal development, we invest in programmes that empower individuals to build their skills, realise their potential and achieve their career ambitions. This commitment is demonstrated through initiatives including apprenticeships, work experience placements, university internships and our new Technical and Commercial Graduate Scheme launching in 2027.

 

We have been fortunate to welcome some exceptional talent through these programmes, many of whom have become key contributors to our success while bringing fresh perspectives and energy to our culture. Through opportunities such as our Women in Tech network and a range of technical and professional development initiatives, we provide the support, exposure and connections people need to thrive.

 

The Grow Your Own category aligns perfectly with our belief that investing in people creates long-term value for individuals, organisations and the wider industry."

Our commitment to developing talent from within runs through everything from apprenticeships and university internships to our Women in Tech network, and it's about to take another step forward with the launch of our Technical and Commercial Graduate Scheme in 2027.
