I am delighted to announce that Activ have reached the finals of the Fast Growth business awards 2010 in the ‘Young Entrepreneur of the Year’ category.

I would like to congratulate Simon, my Co-Director, who has reached the shortlist (of 3) and hope he goes on to win this well-deserved award.

This is a fantastic achievement as these awards are national and well recognised in the business world. I am delighted we have reached this stage as it demonstrates all the hard work everyone is doing here is finally being recognised. I am very proud to be a Director of Activ.

Simon deserves to be shortlisted and in my opinion deserves to win, he is extremely determined, passionate about what he does and is one of the most astute businessmen I have ever met (and I am proud of what he has achieved). Simon is also a very good friend of mine and I wish him all the luck for the awards ceremony on 14th April, I will be there to support you! (Don’t forget to mention your co-Director in your speech lol)

Seriously though, I hope you win it Simon, you work damn hard and always do everything you can to help others succeed (whether it be staff or franchisees) and you deserve to be recognised, least of all because you are only 29 and have achieved so much!

Good luck mate
