Other Marketing Derby Bondholders who took home prizes included Michael Treharne, of Sky Recruitment Solutions, who was named Young Leader of the Year, Matt Bonser, of Purpose Media, who carried off the Sales & Marketing Leader title and Matthew Crawford, of Embark Federation, who was crowned Public and Third Sector Leader.

Sam Metcalf, Midlands editor at TheBusinessDesk.com, said: “Congratulations to all our shortlisted and winning business leaders.

“The judges had a heck of a job choosing who should come out on top – and I’d like to thank them all for their time, knowledge and expertise.

“All too often the brand obscures the individual. TheBusinessDesk.com is all about telling people’s stories, and so it’s always great to celebrate the people behind the success of a company. I look forward to following their journey in the future.”
