The North East tech sector has rallied behind one of its key figures following a serious accident that left him in intensive care.
Jamie Hardesty, who is head of communications at Sunderland Software City and well known for his support of tech firms in the region, was hiking alone on the Welsh mountain Tryfan when he fell about 30ft, sustaining serious injuries.
A gofundme page set up by Laura Partridge of Innovate UK to support Mr Hardesty and his wife Sammy, who is at his bedside each day in Liverpool, has raised more than £11,000 from 260 people across the North East and beyond.
