Our Hidden Hero Lee has been Shortlisted for Industry Award!

Jess Dugdale • April 16, 2025

We’re absolutely delighted to share that our Client Manager, Lee, has been shortlisted for the Hidden Hero Award at the Comms Business Awards – and we couldn’t be prouder!

This award is all about recognising the unsung stars of the tech world – those who consistently go above and beyond for their team, clients, or community, but often do so quietly, without seeking the spotlight. Whether it's staying late to make a project come together, being a steady hand in a crisis, or supporting others behind the scenes, the Hidden Hero award celebrates those whose impact is huge – even if it’s not always seen.


Anyone who’s worked with Lee knows she is the very definition of a Hidden Hero. She’s the kind of person who never drops the ball, never lets stress show, and always puts people first – whether it’s a client needing urgent support, a colleague needing backup, or a community cause she’s passionate about.


Lee’s dedication has played a massive part in the growth and success of 1-Fix. She builds lasting relationships with our clients, treats every request with care and urgency, and is often the quiet force behind projects that get delivered on time and on point.


From late-night check-ins to checking in on people’s wellbeing, Lee’s the sort of team member every business dreams of having – and we’re lucky she’s ours.



The Hidden Hero Award is part of a broader industry initiative to recognise outstanding individuals working in the IT Channel – and it’s a much-needed spotlight on those who work tirelessly behind the scenes. We're thrilled that Lee’s contribution has been recognised on a wider stage.


Whatever happens next, Lee’s already a winner in our eyes – and we’re sure our clients would agree.


Wish Lee luck? Drop her a message on LinkedIn or leave a comment to show your support.
