The Making it Mobile Awards 2012: Finalists Announced

bln

A couple of weeks ago, we posted about the Making it Mobile Awards -  and having received a record number of entries, The BLN have announced the 15 finalists due to present this week on the 28th November.

With some fantastic entries, it's been a tough competition and to quote one of the judges, Nick Lansley, Head of R&D at Tesco:

“Goodness, you know how to make life difficult! I had a challenge even choosing a top 20 (with many others 'bubbling under') and it has been a formidable job narrowing my votes down... Every company who entered this competition should know that they really have created some incredibly innovative mobile products & services, and I wish them every success. British innovation in mobile rocks!”
