Sir Robin Saxby, the man who led chip-designer ARM onto the world stage and, in 1998, the stock exchange was last night honoured with the Outstanding Contribution to the UK Technology Industry at the UK's top event recognising the best in tech.
Speaking remotely from ARM's offices in Maidenhead, Saxby paid tribute to the thousands of engineers across ARM and its many licensees, as well as looking to future generations and the opportunities the UK has in fusing tech and creative industries' know-how.
Other well-known UK brands were also recognised in the CNET Networks UK Technology Awards as both user and supplier-side gongs were handed out.
