Wow, so completely surprised, but i won at the UK Business Angels Association Awards tonight, and i am UKBAA Angel of the year, which recognises the most impactful angel investor backing start-up and early-stage UK businesses, and adding value to support the companies. I started Angel investing in part because of the help that Angels had given me over the years, from asking the hard questions, to picking you up, to sometime just saying that you will find a way! I hope I can help the next generation in the way I was helped! Definitely going to try and use this to help drive investment into the creative industries and to support Funding Quest UK, as the UK has an amazing creative industry Creative UK, Ukie, London Games Festival, OKRE, BAFTA. Thank you to UK Business Angels Association, Jenny Tooth OBE, Roderick Beer. Charles Harrewyn UKBAA,Genevieve Oller, and ACF Investors, who are the awesome sponsors, and of course to some of the awesome companies i get to work with! Michael Heywood, Reedah El-Saie, Michael Donoghue, Susan Cummings, Helen Burnill, Christian Facey, Dave Burpitt, David Amor, Jonty Barnes, Harry Holmwood, Ian Masters, Adrian R., Abhishek Sen, Zhaorong Chen, Kristan Rivers Stephanie Malham, Bonnie Lister Parsons, Rupert Loman, . And of course The Games Angels, who just make it a lot more fun! thank you Jon Gill for the picture
Congratulations! Finally, an accolade more interesting than 'Longest serving Games London Advisory Board member' ;) (In seriousness, hugely deserved)
I've always thought you were a beutifull angel, does this mean you have to dress as one for the whole year now. Cos I'm sure Lina and I can put something together for you 😂
Massively deserved:) congrats
Well deserved, humble as ever
