The 2010 Midlands Business of the Year Awards have seen success for two businesses based in the Leamington and Warwick region.
Steven Timberlake, MD of Hidden Eden, was named Young Entrepreneur of the Year and Alumet Systems of Southam took the award for Midlands Innovation of the Year.
Warwick University graduate Steven Timberlake, 24, set up Hidden Eden, an inspirational garden store with outlets in Warwick Street, Leamington Spa and in Solihull and with a substantial online presence at http://www.hiddeneden.com/ following a successful venture in video manufacturing. Leamington-based PR firm HCK Communications sponsored this award.
There was further success for Alumet Systems of Southam (http://www.alumet.co.uk/) which took the Midlands Innovation of the Year prize, sponsored by Arup. The firm, founded by Gary Summers just seven years ago, designs, manufactures and installs services such as windows and curtain walling for buildings, including aftercare and maintenance.
This was the fourth year of the awards and more than 300 people attended the ceremony at the NEC Hilton Metropole Hotel. The guest of honour was Jerry Blackett, chief executive of Birmingham and Solihull Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Harj Sandher, MD of organisers UK Special Events, the company behind the event, said: “We had some excellent entries and are delighted that the event is growing in popularity and quality. The range of talent in the Midlands is huge and the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and kicking.”
