Stuart's 2023 rankings are significantly higher than last year. In 2022, he held position #512 in the world and #95 in the UK.
He has also been recognised with the Research.com Business and Management in the United Kingdom Leader Award for 2023.
Stuart commented on his achievement: “I feel honoured to receive this recognition. Thanks go to my colleagues, friends, and family, without whose support over the years this would not have been possible.”

This uses innovative methods and technology to provide novel solutions to business and sustainability problems.
