Young Entrepreneur Award 2007
Recognising the Risk Takers
Entrepreneurs build businesses, create jobs and growth. Entrepreneurs take risks with their personal financial security. Often they start with little more than an idea and grim determination to succeed. The successful ones get it right. Not everyone does, but those that do have a unique talent that is seldom recognised.
No longer however, as Millgate Homes is, for the second year running, sponsoring the Young Entrepreneur Award, part of the Thames Valley Business Magazine Awards 2007.
The award is open to those aged 35 or under who have successfully demonstrated this quality of backing their own idea; finding the inner drive and then letting nothing stand in their way.

David Simpson, director and general manager of Millgate, said: “We want to hear from the young guns in the region; the hungry ones; the ones who know the rewards can be spectacular and those who have succeeded against the odds. Our own founder Graeme Simpson won such an award himself and we know what a motivator it can be.
Awards chairman David Murray said: "I am delighted that Millgate is once again rewarding the region's new blood, those 'young guns' who are out there, running successful entrepreneurial businesses."

THE SPONSOR
Berkshire based Millgate is a thriving business; in October 2005 it relocated to a purpose built head office in Ruscombe, near Twyford, following a period of rapid growth that saw turnover soar from £10 million to £46m in just seven years, and the staff roll call grow from 11 to 35 during this time. The new offices provide the ideal base from which the Company can continue its growth, with the number of units built per annum set to rise from 130 homes to a projected 250 by 2007.
Millgate Homes is dedicated to creating homes of the highest calibre for the most discerning of purchasers. Established in 1988, Millgate has built an enviable reputation for creating exclusive homes to the highest standards of design, build and finish in the best locations across the Home Counties.
2005 also saw the launch of Millgate Commercial, with Millgate branching out to create a development of exclusive commercial units in Woodcote, near Reading.
