Calling all Young Entrepreneurs

The search is on for the Thames Valley’s brightest and best young business talent with the prestigious title of Young Entrepreneur of the Year up for grabs.

Backed by leading local property developer Millgate Homes, the award is designed to identify and recognise the next generation of business leaders who are determined to keep the region at the forefront of the UK economy.

David Simpson, director and general manager of Millgate Homes, said: “We know the Thames Valley is a hotbed of young business people with the vision, expertise and drive to succeed. This award recognises their ambition and track record to date and provides a real stepping stone from which they can build even greater achievements.”

This was underlined by Christina Domecq, CEO and co-founder of last year’s winner, Marlow-based voice messaging expert Spinvox. She said: “Winning this award has helped us raise our profile and be recognised for our innovation. Not only does it help attract talented individuals, but it also assists to validate your business and build momentum to drive it forward.”

The Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award is open to anyone aged 35 and under and the winner will be announced by Alistair Campbell at a glittering ceremony in November at the Royal Berkshire Conference Centre at Reading’s Madejski Stadium. For full entry details, contact laura@elcot.co.uk or visit www.businessawards.co.uk. The closing date is 30 September 2007.
