We now have our fourth candidate for the final in September!
Ruth Collier-Large, founder of Me-Mo, drove home the potential in her company, winning the favour of both the panel and audience.
Over 120 business owners watched as Lloyd Banks from Rubicon People presented Ruth with her prizes - a multi-purpose portable multi-media unit and a voucher for £2000 towards her next recruitment.
It was a close fought contest between 4 excellent candidates and the panel were on sparkling form. Lloyd also presented a £1000 voucher towards recruitment to all of the three runners up -
thank you Lloyd!

Justin.. was fascinated with it all, so I'm sure he'll be at the final. So will 3 or 4 of us. Hope there's room! Once again thanks and congratulations." Matt Murray, Optimising Ltd
