Daniel Barnes and Lina Tejoprayitno, founders of Pop Specs, have been recognised as Ones to Watch in The LDC Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders 2024, organised in collaboration with The Times.
The Top 50 programme, created by LDC – part of Lloyds Banking Group, celebrates business leaders with exceptional ambition and is now in its seventh year.
This year’s edition received over 700 nominations, highlighting the extraordinary entrepreneurs behind thriving and expanding businesses across the UK.
The individuals recognised in The LDC Top 50 for 2024 are making a significant difference by generating employment, advancing social equality, advocating sustainability, expanding internationally, and integrating purpose-driven practices into their businesses.
The Ones to Watch category honours individuals who are making substantial progress in scaling their companies. These leaders excel in their industries, influence their customers and teams positively, and show the potential to achieve even greater accomplishments in the coming years.
Daniel Barnes, Founder of Pop Specs, commented: “The LDC Top 50 One to Watch is something that I’ve followed since its inception. It was with a degree of envy that I would see the nominees published each year, so to now actually make this list and be in the company of such ambitious leaders is a truly humbling experience. In running a business, you are presented with countless issues that make you question why you are doing it. So, the recognition of the LDC is one of those moments that makes you feel like it’s all worthwhile. I can’t emphasise enough the pride we feel to be part of this.”
John Garner, Managing Partner at LDC, also remarked: “It’s been seven years since we launched The LDC Top 50 and in that time we’ve had the privilege of meeting some truly remarkable people, and this year has been no different. I’d like to congratulate this year’s Ones to Watch on their achievements so far – we can’t wait to see what they do next.”
