About the power 50

The Power 50 is Mobile's assessment of the 50 most influential people in the UK mobile phone industry over the last 12 months. It is compiled after extensive interviews with senior executive sources across the full range of the industry. We look for individuals who are leaders and visionaries in the 10 different categories we have chosen. In particular we search for people who have not just helped shape the companies they work for, but who have had an influence beyond the scope of their immediate roles. You may not agree with all our choices when they are revealed, but we believe this will be a collection of strong and inspiring individuals.
