aql Sponsors Handmade in Yorkshire event. June 19, 2014

Handmade in Yorkshire, as part of the Leeds Food Festival, took place over the weekend of the 6-8 June 2014.

A showcase for stunning Yorkshire produce, it was an amazing opportunity to support Leeds City Council and The Experience Leeds Markets team by sponsoring the event.

It also enabled the aql team to promote awareness of our Scifi Wifi roll out of free internet throughout Leeds.

This will help to ensure that when the Tour de France visitors hit Leeds for the Grand Depart in a few weeks time, they have access to a reliable fast internet connection that will enable them to record their memories of the event in modern day history books – social media.

The roll out is noticeable by the aql owned original Sir Giles Gilbert Scott phone boxes, painted in aql corporate blue, that are appearing around Leeds, which house the wifi equipment and act as transmitters to numerous aql masts around Leeds.

We also gave away £100 of vouchers to spend in Kirkgate Market to the winner of our text to win competition.

Congratulations to Peter from Wakefield.
