The award was handed out by Intellect, the trade association for the IT, telecoms and electronics industries, and recognises achievements including:

• His work in support of the Government’s 3millionlives telehealth campaign announced by the Prime Minister in December, which will see systems rolled out to millions of people living with long-term medical conditions
• His assistance with a number of Intellect initiatives, including participation in the Innovation Den series and the Technology Showcase, currently running at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS)

Other awards were handed out to Andrew Rogoyski, chairman of the Cyber Security Group; David Terrar, chairman of Intellect's Software as a service (SaaS) group; and Ian Henley, chairman of the Intellect’s membership committee 2008-11.
