Apr 9 2008 by Peter McCusker, The Journal

BUSINESS support service Business Link North East (BLNE) is putting its faith in the entrepreneurial talent of the region’s youngsters by sponsoring this year’s Young Enterprise Awards.

Along with over a dozen of the North East’s leading companies and organisations it appreciates the key to the region’s prosperity lies in encouraging our youth to view entrepreneurship as a viable career choice.

Jonathan Lamb from BLNE said: “We’re delighted to be supporting the Young Enterprise North East Awards as we recognise that the young entrepreneurs of today will become the major regional success stories of tomorrow.

“Encouraging entrepreneurship at a young age is really important as it enables the youth of today to gain personal experience of the world of business while still in education.

“Business Link is sponsoring the Business Supporter of the Year category as we want to promote the achievements of those businesses that contribute to and support the work of Young Enterprise North East.”

There are 13 award categories in the annual awards. The final takes place on Tuesday, June 17, at Newcastle Marriott Hotel, Gosforth Park. To book a table contact Debbie Nicholls, event executive at ncjMedia, on (0191) 201-6435.

Business Link’s team of brokers operate across the region in local access points and on a mobile basis.
