Hunt on for corporate gift industry entrepreneur of 2008

The British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA) is on the hunt for the most dynamic worker in the promotional products industry for the 2008 Entrepreneur of the Industry award.

Director-general of the BPMA Gordon Glenister said: "Entrepreneurs with drive and passion are the type of people we want to recognise through this award, for their enormous efforts in our vibrant and creative industry."

Nominations are open to industry workers from any company within the corporate gifts and promotional product sector.

The award winner will gain a number of prizes including a £1,000 Microsoft software package and a networking and mentoring lunch with Colin Lloyd, a business management expert.

Corporate gifts and other branded merchandise are increasing in prominence, as was revealed by a ten per cent increase in visitors to the Promotional Marketing Exhibition this year.
