Winners revealed at East Midlands Leadership Awards
Robert Thiroff, the managing director of windows and doors manufacturer Profine, was crowned Leader of the Year at the East Midlands Leadership Awards on Thursday evening (March 23).
In front of an audience of 250 business leaders at the Crowne Plaza in Nottingham city centre, Thiroff was a double winner – also taking the Transformational Leader crown.
In total, 12 prizes were handed out at the latest edition of TheBusinessDesk.com’s annual Leadership Awards, and the standard of entries was higher than ever, said Sam Metcalf, Midlands editor.
“Congratulations to all our shortlisted and winning business leaders this evening. 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.”
