Announcing our Turing Sponsor – 34SP!

This year we’ve gone a bit different with our sponsorship names, and we’re naming them after people with a connection to Manchester. Our Platinum sponsorship is named after the founding-father of computer science, Enigma codebreaker and mathematical genius Alan Turing OBE, who had a connection with the city of Manchester.


34SP.com is a unique WordPress Hosting provider based in Manchester. What separates 34SP.com from other hosting companies is their unwavering commitment to customers through Exceptional Service and Support.

Founded in the year 2000, 34SP.com has been hosting WordPress accounts since the platform launched in 2003. They have developed a deep understanding of the specific needs of those using WordPress – indeed many of the team run their own sites powered by WordPress so should be able to help if you run into any difficulty. 34SP.com has long been a strong supporter and sponsor of WordPress and local WordCamps throughout Europe. They are advocates of the Open Source movement and use Open Source code and resources in their own business and web hosting operations.

Sponsorship Update

Since we announced our Call for Sponsors five weeks ago, the sponsorship team have been busy responding to the numerous enquiries we have received regarding our sponsorship packages.

Interest has been high, and we are delighted to report that we have already sold three-quarters of our packages to organisations from across the WordPress ecosystem, featuring new and familiar faces alike.

However, it isn’t too late to sponsor WordCamp Manchester 2017 and help us fund this fantastic community event, while showcasing your awesome products & services to our delegates on the day.

At the time of writing we can confirm that three “Lowry” (Silver) packages are available, which would give you a dedicated physical presence in our main sponsor space and two free tickets, as well as a host of other benefits.

UPDATE: Due to one of our sponsors switching to a slightly different package, we now have one “Pankhurst” (Gold) package available.

Take a look at our sponsorship pack for full details of the benefits, and get in touch if you would like to snap up one of these remaining packages!
