Celebrating the city's brightest young business minds
Ambitious, spirited and innovative - candidates for the Brisbane Business News Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards do not rest on their laurels.
In fact some don’t seem to rest at all. Success doesn’t come easily as many will attest and the decision for the winner and runners up each year go right down to the wire.
Judges were split over who would be crowned the city’s top young entrepreneur in 2010 and it wasn’t like comparing apples and oranges - but rather pizza and coffee.
Phillip Di Bellla of Espresso Enterprises took top honours for his insatiable entrepreneurial appetite as he sought and discovered new markets and products, but denying the Highly Commended duo of Scott Geiszler and Anthony Russo of Pizza Capers the top gong was a tough call.
Kudos must also go to insurance claims consultancy Stream Group founder Don McKenzie, who took out the inaugural trailblazer award.
Looking back to the 2009 Brisbane Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards and you'll find an equally impressive line-up of youthful Impresario's.
In its inaugural event Pipe Networks (PWK) founder Bevan Slattery took the honours. Slattery had just completed a $200 million undersea cable from Sydney to Guam that has the potential to double Australia’s international internet connectivity.
The celebrations continued for Slattery when shortly after the award ceremony, PWK was sold to telco giant SP Telemedia for $373 million. The founder remains at the company's helm as CEO to this day.
