Phil Race

CEO, AdEPT

What has been your personal highlight of 2021?

AdEPT winning the MSP of the Year award at the Comms Business Awards 2021 recently. This is an endorsement of everything we've been striving for over recent years and is a testament of the efforts of everyone across AdEPT during an incredibly challenging year. A truly ‘wow!' moment.

Which one lockdown habit do you plan to keep going?

I've been exercising regularly in the morning, on a Peloton and with the company of Joe Wicks! I plan to keep that going when I'm working from home.

Which face-to-face industry event are you most excited to return to, and why?

This is an easy one for me, its Commsvision at Gleneagles. This is a great event for so many reasons, not least the chance to meet with the great and the good from across the industry in one place, alongside some thought-provoking presentations and workshops.

If you had the time to learn one new skill, what would it be?

I started to learn the guitar when I was young, but didn't have the patience to become proficient. I think it would be great to play some of the great music from across the years. I'm a Stereophonics fan and would love to be able to play Dakota.

If you could go back in time and tell your childhood self one thing, what would you say?

Seize the day; time flies!

If you had to sing karaoke, what would be your song of choice?

I sang With A Little Help From My Friends by The Beatles in a Boston bar once - great fun!

Sum 2021 up in three words.

Pandemic stress fading!
