I've known Greg for a number of years and have watched him develop from a student into a competent, forward thinking, and ambitious young man. Am very happy to support him in this programme.

Greg's a lad who deserves to win. He works hard. A good attribute in any young man today
He is ambitious, that is what you need to be a good business man.
He is enthusiastic, most important. and works along with his staff
His staff are also enthusiastic due to his approach to them and with them
He deserves to win.

I would like to vote for Greg Phillips for his entrepreneurial ability which is demonstrated in the setting up of his bakery production business, distribution to retail outlets and managerial control of the whole operation. This is an achievement for a young man who is still only in his late twenties.
This we feel is an indication of his potential to drive and to develop the business successfully.

what a great idea for a competition. I've read about it in the Evening Chronicle and would like to add my vote for Greg Phillips, he's a great advert for the region and young people in general, especially at a time when the youth of today are coming in for so much criticism of late.

I have known Greg for 7 years and he has been a very influential part of my life. I have never met anyone with his confidence and determination. I am constantly learning from him everyday and it is refreshing to be around someone who puts their heart and soul into everything they do - he really is without a doubt an inspiration!Greg has achieved what he has to this date through hard work and commitment and whatever the obstacle he comes up against he always has a smile - I think that makes him pretty special. I know how important it is to him to win and I really believe he deserves to do so!

Power Cut

Normality has been restored today after a power cut yesterday caused havoc with our operations at the bakery. The telephone lines were down all day (what did we do before mobiles?) and production was hampered, causing a knock-on effect on despatch.

Disruption to our customers was minimised thankfully and everything is running smoothly again now!

Progressive Conference

Came into work this morning inspired not only by the speakers at yesterdays forum conference but also by the delegates. It was great to meet so many people with that passion about their own business. Having the opportunity to speak to people who have 'been there and done it' was a real privilege. Being 5 yards away from Elle Macpherson wasnt too shabby either!

Congratulations to the Entrepreneurs Forum for such an excellent, well organised event.
