 Last year’s inaugural ranking - How-Do’s most popular feature to date in terms of page downloads - will be reprised in early November and the 2008 edition includes a large number of new names as so many of last year’s entrants have, over the course of the year, changed jobs – voluntarily or otherwise…
The 2007 compilation can be viewed here.
The current scheduled date for publication of the list is week commencing Monday 3 November. We are changing the way we publish and rank the list this year. Rather than ranking numbers one to 20 followed by four bands of twenty individuals, this year we are ranking numbers one to 30 and thereafter will list the balance of the 70.
We are also delighted that last year’s sponsor of the Media 100, leading law firm turner parkinson, will be joined this year by Alliance Fund Managers, a private equity house based in Liverpool, which holds or has made investments in a number of the region’s best-known creative and digital companies.
Mark Fuller, Alliance’s managing director said: “We’re delighted to be working with How-Do on this project. AFM is hugely supportive of the thriving digital and creative sectors in the North West and has invested over £17m in around 120 companies in these industries including New Mind, Rippleffect, Uniform, Cybertill, Paver Smith and Mando Group. Digital and creative businesses play a vital role in the region’s economy and it is therefore hugely important that they receive the right advice and support to enable them to develop and grow. It is vital to recognise and encourage achievement.”
