It was definitely all White on the night for Audacia boss

In the always-hotly-contested technology category it was Audacia managing director Philip White who left the 2024 Leadership Awards with the biggest smile.

Not always the biggest fan of individual awards, the pioneering software company boss had to be convinced that entering was worth his while.

It certainly proved that way in March as he scooped the top prize, which he dedicated to his team.

“The award reflects work that everybody has done and I’m just the figurehead,” said White.

“I’m not a fan of individual awards but my PR team explained it was worth our while and it is always nice to hear your name called out after a couple of glasses of wine.

“We also treated the staff and gave a lot of money to charity, which was great. There were a lot of good charities to help out on the night.”
