Today we are pleased to announce that The Memo has won a coveted Good Web Guide Award, from judges including Mumsnet founder Justine Roberts, Skimlinks co-founder Alicia Navarro, and Dr Stephen Fear, the entrepreneur often known as the Phonebox Millionaire.
The Guide, which has been guest edited by the likes of Sir Richard Branson, Headspace founder Andy Puddicombe, and Skyscanner CEO Gareth Williams, is a trusted leader in digital publishing, and we are honoured to have been recognised at its wonderful Awards ceremony last night.
Held at The Royal Institution of Great Britain, and supported by marketing group the mission, the event took place in a gorgeous library where guests enjoyed champagne and canapes and admired shelves of books that reached the ceiling.
Nick Hungerford, co-founder of Nutmeg, the fastest growing investment management business in the UK and last year’s GWG winner, was present to hand over the ‘Really Useful’ Award to our journalist Kitty Knowles, while awards judge Dr Stephen Fear, praised The Memo as an “excellent website with up to date global tech advances information in a great easy to use format.”
We’re delighted to provide such a useful service, and will strive to continue to bring you the tech news that matters across business, culture, innovation and policy.
