Nintendo UK's Head of Consumer Marketing James Honeywell has been honoured as 2015's Unsung Hero at this year's MCV awards.
Honeywell - who began his career at Nintendo two decades ago - has overseen a wide range of product launches, including the Game Boy Advance, DS and Nintendo's current handheld, the 3DS.
Throughout the past 20 years Honeywell has worked his way up through the UK arm of the company, having fulfilled roles such as Project Manager and Marketing Manager before rising to his current role, in which he oversees all marketing activities within Nintendo UK.
The following video was shown on the night, and features dedications from Nintendo Marketing Director Shelly Pearce and Sales Director Andy Yates.
Congratulations, James!

It would have helped if i knew what the MCV awards were... I had to look it up.
But congrats to him .
Not one mention or screenshot of anything to do with Wii U in that video. Why am I not surprised?
Congrats!
Unsung Hero, is that like a Guitar Hero spinoff?
Shouldn't the editor have pointed out that there is no explanation of what "MCV" means in this article? In my opinion, that is RFBL.
This is a Europe-based videogame site, that's why they don't need to spell out what UK means either.
Poor Europe. The GBA scene from my Understanding was weak. Otherwise people are going to jump and he knows it as well.
Congratulations to James Honeywell.
But... At the risk of sounding nasty, maybe he should step aside, as Nintendo sales have been terrible in the UK for a long time.
MVC is what now? Oh right, that thing where games journalists tweet support for a game company to win free game systems?
@jdarrell
Comparing the well known acronym/abbreviation of a country known globally to a regionally known acronym? Good comparison!
