And the Winner is?

Last night we celebrated the 25th year of the Shell Livewire Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards 2007 hosted by James Smith the Chairman of Shell UK at Gibson Hall in London. Rachel Elnaugh, of Dragons Den fame, gave a key note speech on her experiences in business, to an audience of over 170 people. 12 UK finalists were put through their paces by a panel of judges during the day but there could be only one winner. Here are the results...
