Young Entrepreneur of the Year

Can't help but talk about multiposting companies at the mo apparently, anyway this is just a quick one to say congrats to Dan over at Broadbean, winning young entrepreneur of the year is certainly a major coup!

Dan McGuire, MD of Broadbean Technology was named Young Entrepreneur of the Year at the Growing Business Awards, organised by the CBI and Real Business magazine, last Wednesday evening.
John Caudwell, the telecoms billionaire and founder of Phones4U, presented Dan with the prize that celebrates heightened ambition, energy, skill and vision in entrepreneurs under the age of 30.
Only last month Broadbean, who were also finalists in the “Innovative Company” category were crowned ATSCo Innovator of the Year and ranked the UK’s 27th fastest growing technology firm by Deloitte. McGuire, 26, who has achieved growth of over 1300%* in 5 years was highly commended in the Lifetime Achievement category at the London and South East Recruitment Awards and recently featured in the Observer’s list of the top 50 rising stars in business.
Commenting on his success, he said “I’m absolutely delighted. There are not many awards I could win in my entire career that have the same magnitude as this; and to
accept it in front of my team and so many of Britain’s most successful entrepreneurs
made it all the more special. This is as much an award for everyone at Broadbean as
it is for me because without the hard work, dedication and passion of my team I wouldn’t be in the position I’m in today.”
