Elitetele.com CEO Matt Newing has collected the EN North West Technology Entrepreneur of the Year Award for 2014.
His business career began in 1996 when he set up his first company at the age of 23 with help from The Prince's Trust.
"We have had a successful year as a business and it's important that as a community we continue to support and harness the entrepreneurial spirit of the North West," he said.
"To be in the tech sector at this time is both exciting and challenging, and with a shift to virtual, cloud and data centre services, businesses are addressing new avenues to transform their comms and tech. This is why we are continuing to expand in this market and look for new opportunities."
The EN Awards ceremony took place on 16th October at The Mere Resort in Knutsford.
Last year Newing was shortlisted for Technology Entrepreneur of the Year Award at the national Great British Entrepreneur Awards in London.
