I’m so honoured to have been shortlisted for this award, particularly in light of the calibre of previous winners.
Stagsden, England (PRWEB) August 29, 2018
It has just been announced that 3 Legged Thing’s Founder & CEO, Danny Lenihan, has been shortlisted by the NatWest Great British Entrepreneur Awards in the Creative Industries category, in the key region of London and the South East.
Danny’s work in building 3 Legged Thing from startup into a global tripod brand has been recognised by the awards organisation. From its headquarters in a chicken shed in rural Bedfordshire (The Chicken Shed), 3 Legged Thing has grown into a market leader in camera support technology. Particularly famed for its cutting edge new technology, innovation and unique design attributes, 3 Legged Thing has won multiple industry awards since its inception in 2010, including the prestigious Lucie Technical Award for Best Tripod 2017, and Best of CES 2018.
Alongside his role as CEO, Danny Lenihan is also the company’s chief designer, and is proud that all of the company’s design and engineering is undertaken in the UK.
“I’m so honoured to have been shortlisted for this award, particularly in light of the calibre of previous winners,” said Danny Lenihan. “I wouldn’t have made it this far without the hard work and investment from my business partner, Gary Garber, who joined us in 2012. Gary has been material in transforming this business from a parochial entity to an industry leader in camera support technology, with products distributed across the world.”
