Two recruiters have been recognised for their successful entrepreneurship in the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2011 Awards’ Business Products and Services category.

Tony Goodwin, chief executive officer of Antal International and Johnathan Johnson, CEO of Fircroft Engineering Services, did not emerge the category winner of the awards, presented last night (3 October 2011) at the London Hilton on Park Lane. Nevertheless, the strong showing by recruiters in the category demonstrated the creativity and imagination that dominates the UK sector, an attendee observed.

The E&Y entrepreneurship honours are among the most significant points of recognition for self-starting business leaders.
