Super Start judges Russell Felstead (Barclays Commercial), James Tucker (Larking Gowen), Patrik Minder (Colchester Gazette Business Awards Businessman of the Year and owner of The Lemon Tree restaurant, Colchester), Tony Fisher (Fisher Jones Greenwood LLP) and Irene Kettle (Gazette editor)

Two entrepreneurs in north Essex who dreamt of starting their own business have given themselves a big boost by entering our competition.

Super Start gave new and start-up businesses the advice and cash towards making their business dreams a reality.

Sponsored by Gazette Business, Fisher Jones Greenwood LLP solicitors, Larking Gowen accountants and Barclays Commercial, Super Start has just concluded.

Businesses had to do put together a business plan, which was judged by the panel.

Two winners each received £2,000 to get their ideas off the ground, and free consultation from Barclays Commercial, Larking Gowen and Fisher Jones Greenwood LLP, on money, tax and legal issues.

The judges shortlisted five entries, who presented their ideas to the panel in a Dragons’ Den-style final on March 27, 2008, at the Fisher Jones Greenwood offices.

An audience made up of north Essex’s business people and entrepreneurs were watching.
