I’m a big fan of the Hospital, and have been a member since it opened, so seeing them recognise Mike and his input to the industry is a wonderful thing. About time too!
From the Hospital website:
In essence, it’s a search for the authentic stars and media power across London’s creative industries; film, television, music, new media, journalism, publishing, performing arts, marketing PR undefined events, fashion, art, advertising, media law undefined recruitment and celebrity.
Mike came 47th in the list, ahead of the likes of Jonathan Mildenhall, MD, Coca Cola, and David Joseph, Chairman/CEO of Universal Music U.K..
Sadly, most of the content about the Top 100 is behind a members only website, so I thought I’d republish the list in full for you here.

Christ on a bike, with the obvious exception of Mike, that’s the kind of list I’d actually pay to not be on.
Thanks!
Much appreciated Thayer!
