Mark Thomas wins the Outstanding CEO of the year award at CWIC event.

This award means a lot to Mark; as being recognised as “Outstanding CEO of the year” reflects his journey from a bedroom-based solo startup to developing Coderus into what it is today and adds to the company’s awards and to three recent wins this year, two for teamwork with INEOS Team UK and the other for growth in the B2B sector.

It is particularly prestigious to Mark as a technology practitioner and leader as it embodies many values he has spent 20 years instilling into the company and is now widely adopted by the Coderus team, whilst providing unique benefits and involving employees in cutting-edge projects for Bluechip companies. The award aligns with the Coderus policy of “continued learning” for all employees: apprentices, experienced developers, leaders or postgraduate researchers, providing them with paid education and learning experiences wherever possible. 

Mark Thomas CEO says:

“Thank you to the team for the nomination. I appreciate your support as I see this award as a team award. 

Being from an engineering background, I see myself as an enabler & mentor to help others, which I have done throughout my career. 

In addition, I love contributing across various education & community groups to help inspire the next generation. To me, being a leader is about setting the bar personally and professionally and helping all to reach it".

Coderus is a founding member of CW, having worked closely with them to build stronger relationships in the wireless and innovation sectors, and would like to thank CW for the award.

Mark and Coderus take pride in winning the CW award. After a fantastic year, it is a significant achievement for them, working with enterprise, scale-up and startup companies, providing award-winning software development for new or pre-existing projects in challenging times. His acceptance humbly reinforced the values CW unanimously had judged as key to him winning the award.
