Voting for the 2014 Mobile News Personality of the Year Award has gone up a level after a surge in votes saw a sea of changes to the top 10
Lebara Mobile chief Ratheesh Yoganathan currently heads our poll to find the 10 finalists who will compete for the title of “Personality of the year” at the Mobile News Awards on March 13 at the Hilton on Park Lane
Yoganathan sprang from the lower depths of our 30 listing to first place after more than 250 of his close friends and associates cast their vote for him last Friday.
However, the gap has since narrowed after a flurry of votes Lyca Mobile’s chief Subaskaran Allirajah, saw his ranking rocket from 20th to second.
At time of writing the 10 nominations to be voted for on the night are: (1) Yoganathan, (2) Allirajah, (3) Simon Stanford (Samsung), (4) Stuart Joce (A1 Comms), (5) Andy Tow (Avenir), (6) Gerry O’Keeffe (Exertis), (7) Olaf Swantee (EE), (8) Mark Mitchinson (Huawei), (9) Bob Sweetlove (Carphone Warehouse Business) and (10) Conor Pierce (Nokia),
Alexandra Zagury (BlackBerry), Tim Whiting (Phones 4U), and Rob Mukhejee(Vodafone) have all slipped out of the top 10 in the past few hours.
