“Nominated by industry figures and peers, the award recognizes Kevin’s success after just two years in the job, and how he's driven 3 forward to disrupt the mobile market,” an official - and officially excited - 3 statement said.
 
According to the company, the last year alone has seen 3's business “push the comfort zone” of the industry by bringing VoIP and free calling to the masses with the 3 Skypephone, lobbying the EU for lower roaming changes and challenging the regulators to overhaul the mobile termination rates which keep UK call charges high. 

“And that's before we even get onto our market-leading Mobile Broadband and our network-share agreement with T-Mobile to give biggest and best network of all,” the statement said, lacking nothing but a smug grin and a cheeky wink.
