Rod becomes a finalist for ‘Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award’
We are delighted to announce that FDM’s very own CEO, Rod Flavell - has reached the finalist stage for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. This is the world’s most prestigious business award for entrepreneurs, recognising the passion and drive behind successful companies throughout the globe. There’s a regional stage, a national stage and an international stage - covering more than 135 cities in 50 countries.
“In the current tough economic climate it is more important than ever that entrepreneurial skills and spirit are recognised and rewarded. There are many factors that make a great entrepreneur, financial performance is one of them. However, in these unprecedented times when assessing finalists our judges will be taking more than growth and financial track record into account. They will assess, amongst other broader criteria, how you are managing the downturn and making the most of any opportunities that have arisen.”
-Ernst & Young
The regional awards ceremony is on the 15th June 2009. All winners will also be entered in the national awards followed by the international awards held in Monte Carlo in 2010.
