Optix steps up to support the next generation of talent

As a passionate supporter of future digital and tech talent, digital marketing specialist Optix Solutions was delighted to support the Exeter College Student Awards 2025.

The company was the proud sponsor of the Digital Media Academy Student of the Year Award won by Josh Tate.

The awards celebration took place at Exeter Cathedral where the hard work, dedication, and achievements of students across a range of disciplines was recognised. Optix MD Rob Stevens attended to present the award to Josh.

He said: “The evening was a fantastic showcase of talent, with inspiring stories from students who have demonstrated resilience, innovation, and commitment to their future careers. As a business that thrives on innovation and talent development, we’re proud to stand alongside Exeter College in nurturing the next generation of professionals.

“We loved meeting Josh and his family. He’s a naturally confident young person who is clearly deserving of the award. He told us that one day he hopes to become a television presenter; a role I can see him excelling in. I, and everyone at Optix, wish him the best of luck with his future career.”
