Winner - Best Use of Digital Technology - Somerset Business Awards

Saturday, March 29, 2025

Ellie and I are genuinely buzzing to share that on 29th March 2025, Techosaurus Ltd was honoured with the ‘Best Use of Digital Technology’ award at the Somerset Business Awards! This award recognises our passion and commitment to transforming businesses through innovative digital technologies—especially via our Generative AI Skills Bootcamp.

A Memorable Evening With Amazing Guests

The awards ceremony, hosted at the beautiful Winter Gardens Pavilion in Weston-super-Mare, was made even more special by celebrating alongside some fantastic people who’ve been pivotal to our journey:

• Alex Clancy, Vice Principal of Yeovil College (and his partner Michelle), whose invitation was the spark that launched our AI Skills Bootcamp.
• Serena Foreman, Adult Careers and Apprenticeship Placement Lead at Yeovil College—our behind-the-scenes hero who brilliantly handles all the complex logistics and ensures our learners have a seamless experience.
• Peter K Doyle, The Digital Sherpa from Heart of the South West and Digital Link (and his partner Wendy)—our mentor whose insights and support have been invaluable.
• Adam Pilton, Cyber Security Evangelist and fellow regular Digital Hub speaker (and his partner Tori).

We couldn’t have done it without them—and the evening was genuinely fantastic because of their presence and support.

So, What Exactly Makes Our Generative AI Skills Bootcamp Stand Out?

Our bootcamp isn’t just another training course—it’s a transformational 10-week journey we’ve carefully crafted with Yeovil College to empower businesses and individuals with practical, real-world AI skills:

• AI Fundamentals: Clearly understanding Large Language Models and their real-world uses.
• Ethical and Secure AI: Ensuring AI integration is responsible, secure, and ethical.
• Prompt Engineering: Practical techniques to optimise AI outputs and interactions.
• Business Applications: Streamlining processes in marketing, finance, operations, and more.
• Strategic Transformation: Tailored AI strategies designed for sustainable business growth.

And for anyone keen on a rapid introduction, our shorter “From Zero to AI” workshops offer immediate and actionable insights.

Real Impact—Real Feedback

Over just six months, with our Skills Bootcamp and our smaller workshops, we’ve equipped over 200 professionals and businesses across Somerset and Devon with the confidence and skills to harness generative AI. The feedback has genuinely blown us away. Here’s just a snapshot:

• “Epic course. Loved it. Changed my life—quite literally. 🎤 Now to see what I do with it… 😍”
• “Absolutely a game-changer! Inspirational, mind-blowing, and genuinely life-changing. I’ve never enjoyed learning as much as this.”
• “Hands down the best training I’ve attended. It takes you out of your comfort zone, but it’s 100% worth the ride!”
• “Was this one of the best training courses I’ve ever been on? Yes. Without a doubt.”
• “I’ve just completed the Generative AI course, and it was an absolute game-changer. Led by the amazing Techosaurus Ltd team, Scotty and Ellie, who brilliantly broke down complex ideas into accessible insights.”
• “I completed the Techosaurus Ltd 10-week Bootcamp yesterday, and it was truly the best course I’ve ever attended.”

What’s Coming Next?

With the incredible response we’ve received, we’ve opened three new bootcamp cohorts kicking off at the end of April, and we’re already planning additional sessions for September and January. Spots are going quickly, so if you’re considering diving into the future of AI-powered business, now’s definitely the time.

We’re also looking to grow our team and will soon be seeking passionate, talented people who can help us deliver our vision and unique approach across Somerset and beyond.
