FULL STORY ======================================================================

BT Consumer CEO Marc Allera has been named the Power 50 Person of the Year at the Mobile Industry Awards 2021 .

The Person of the Year award is given to the most influential individual in the UK mobile sector over the past 12 months. The Power 50 is the product of months of research and profiling, with the Person of the Year being the individual who our judges feel has been the most inspirational and innovative leader in the UK mobile industry over the last 12 months.

This years list has seen many changes from 2020, with familiar names
departing the scene and mergers and acquisitions changing the landscape of
the industry. We expect a lot to happen in the next 12 months and suspect the rankings will look a lot different in 2022. Shop Idol 2021

But this years Person of the Year is a well-known figure in the industry. Indeed, it is the third time Allera has won the accolade, having also taking top prize in both 2018 and 2019.

The past year has been unlike any other before it, and the role of mobile technology has been elevated significantly. The entire industry has stepped
up to keep everyone in the country connected and everyone included in the
list should be proud of their achievements.

Allera led BT Consumers response to these unprecedented times through community support, customer service initiatives, and network upgrades that ensured customers could continue to work, live, and play despite lockdown restrictions.

This has not come at the expense of innovation. Allera has overseen the ongoing expansion of EEs 5G network across the nation and ensured the
business continues to meet expectations in the most testing of times. 5G will usher in a new era for our industry, and BT and other mobile operators will
be at the forefront of that shift.

This combination of customer support, record of innovation, and business success is why Marc Allera is our Person of the Year 2021.
