November 25th, 2009

Spark 2009 went out with a bang at a big bash at the BT Tower on November 25th! With truffles created by Beyond Boyle, models in design knitwear by Sparkler business From Pavement to Catwalk, and a Spark impact exhibition at the top of the tower, it was a real showcase of the talent within this innovative public investment program.

And the best way to give you a flavour of it is to show you some of the fantastic photos from the event…
