Rock Links was the winner of the Gosport Innovation and Entreprenuership Business award 2008. The award was collected by Craig Jones the founder of Rocklinks.co.uk at a very fancy dinner at the Alver Bank Hotel in Gosport. Below is what the judges had to say about the catergory.

Sponsored by the Gosport Business Centre, this Award recognises businesses that have demonstrated a particularly innovative or entrepreneurial approach.

All the shortlisted entrants this year were selected based on their entrepreneurial approach to establishing and growing a small business. Two businesses particularly caught the judges’ eye, both impressing with their attitude, ambition and understanding of the key essentials required to establish and grow a successful business.  

However, there can be only one winner.  In making their final choice, the judges agreed that this particular business stood out for a number of reasons – including having understood the importance of building capacity through networks; demonstrating a willingness to learn and apply new skills; and making very significant progress in a short space of time.  Feeding back after their visits, the judges commented “Every now and then you meet an entrepreneur who has a real spark of energy, confidence and enthusiasm, and a practical approach that will ensure these essential attributes take a business forward”

We would like to thank the organisers and the Judges for a fantastic evening and for the award of course!
