Graham Hill receiving his 2nd ‘Entrepreneur of the Month’ award
We are getting our entrepreneurial streak back in the UK: last year the rate of new business creation was faster than any other year in our history. One local entrepreneur knows just what it takes to buck the trend and grow their business.
Graham Hill, of Verbatim, the telephone call answering service, based out of Newbury has grown his business month on month over the last 18 months and is now garnering the awards to prove it.
Graham is the first Oxfordshire member of the Entrepreneurs’ Circle to be awarded “Entrepreneur of the Month” twice in less than a year for making stuff happen in his business and implementing things that have improved both his service to his clients and the marketing of his business. As a result his revenues and profitability are growing and his business is starting to fly.
