The Power 50 is the definitive list of the most influential figures in the UK mobile industry during the past year.

Now in its 15th year, the countdown recognises individuals who imbue their businesses with their values, have influence beyond their existing roles, and who we feel serve as an inspiration to the rest of the trade.

It takes into account the views of our panel of experts and interviews with senior figures within the industry and we want you to get involved too. 

So, who will make this year’s list? You can join the debate now on the Power 50 website, where nominations are now open for anyone you feel deserves a place.

Entries close at 6pm on July 21, 2023, and the final 50 nominees will be celebrated at the Mobile Industry Awards 2023, taking place on September 21 at the Royal Lancaster London.
