So it happened.. We actually won.
Data centre industry Contribution of the year at the DCS Awards. Crazy!
Sadly (or luckily) I am away on holiday with the family so I was unable to collect my award in person.
Thanks to Joe and Richard for representing.
My journey was never planned, and it’s a total accident that I ended up here. All the best adventures are an accident, right?
However, no journey is made without people that help you along the way.
Thank you 🙌🏻
Thanks to everyone who voted. I couldn’t have won without you (I actually couldn’t..).
To James Rix for nominating me, and for the wisdom shared along the way. A more genuine person you will struggle to find.
To Paul Hammer for pushing me to get Data Centre Club Nights off the ground. Stop thinking how, start thinking now.
To Neil Roberts and Alex Moffatt MRICS for opening up new Data Centre Club Night regions, and for proving to me that this community concept has legs. I promise this is only the start.
To the person who suggested I added article links to my newsletter. Please make yourself known!
To all the people in the sector that I now consider friends. Thanks for the advice and the many late night chats in venues across the world.
Thanks for the WhatsApp messages to simply see how I am, or to tell me to stop working (I know, 4 day week…😉). You know who you are.
To all the people that message me to say thanks for the content I single handedly produce every single week!! These messages give me the drive to continue.
Thanks to all my podcast guests. It’s only ever a chat, but it’s always a chat that means so much.
Thanks to my colleagues at DataX Connect and Highfield Professional Solutions Ltd To Harrison and Benjamin for being part of the data centre content journey from the start.
And a big thank you to the data centre community. To Data Centre Club members. To Inside Data Centre Podcast listeners. To all 22000+ Weekly Newsletter Readers.
Hopefully I will see many of you in Cannes for a drink or two.
I don’t chase recognition, and because of that I don’t always get the recognition that some say I deserve.
Some people make things happen.
Some people simply take the credit.
It’s not my award. It’s our award.
And it’s only the start 😉
Are you in?

PS - If I can do it then anyone can.
PPS - I do recruitment.
