Winners revealed at West Midlands Leadership Awards 2021
Stuart Pratt, the co-founder of developer Godwin, walked away with the top prize at this afternoon’s (September 17) West Midlands Leadership Awards, held at the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham city centre.
In front of around 180 business leaders from across the region, Pratt was named Leader of the Year – he also walked away with the Company Leader (up to 100 employees) crown.
Sam Metcalf, Midlands editor of TheBusinessDesk.com, said: “Firstly, congratulations to Stuart and all our winners.
“The last 18 months has meant that strong and decisive leadership is more important that ever, and we’ve found throughout this award process that the West Midlands is well served in this respect. Every single person shortlisted today should be very proud of their leadership skills – congratulations to you all.
“I’d like to extend a special thanks to our judges who gave up substantial amounts of their time to help with picking today’s shortlist and winners – and, of course, our sponsors without whom this event wouldn’t have happened.”
