The UK’s first annual Digital Entrepreneur of the Year Awards were held this weekend and were hosted by UKFast.
The event took place at the Palace Hotel in Manchester, where eight of
the Nation’s top digital businesses collected awards for excellence in
their industry. Amongst the winners was CSI Media, specialists in travel technology, who were rewarded with the ‘Design and Marketing Digital Entrepreneur of the Year’ Award.
The awards were conceived by Lawrence Jones, Managing Director of Internet hosting company UKFast.
“Until now, there have been no serious awards dedicated to the UK
entrepreneurs who are pushing the boundaries of the internet and
challenging the norm in their respective industries."
He went on to say "The Digital Entrepreneur of the Year Awards
recognise the silent heroes behind the scenes as well as those making a
high profile difference. Businesses like CSI Media are changing the
shape of web businesses and letting their customers reap the benefits.”
CSI Media's
Technical Director, John Jackson, was present to collect the award. "It
was a great honour to receive the UKFast Design and Marketing Digital
Entrepreneur of the Year Award on behalf of everyone at CSI Media. All
CSI Media employees can be proud of the award which is testament to
their creativity, hard effort and innovative thinking. I believe it is
important that other industry leaders follow UKFast's direction in
recognising the talent of UK companies shaping the web"
The
awards were presented to the winners by Sale Sharks rugby stars
including Charlie Hodgson, Chris Jones and young up-coming star James
Gaskell.
