Appco UK encourages the ambitious spirit of entrepreneurs and celebrates business leadership among independent marketing professionals and business owners. The company was founded on entrepreneurship nearly 30 years ago and we continue to encourage, develop and support entrepreneurs today. Here we look at some of the entrepreneurs in the world of business that are starting to make a serious impact in their chosen fields.
Being an entrepreneur is not only about thinking differently and challenging typically conventional areas of business – it’s also about having the ability to give those ideas meaning and relevance in the 21st century.
‘Generation Y’ is a phrase often used to describe those born in the 1980s and 90s, however it can also be used to best describe those who are most likely to ask ‘why?’ and challenge the status quo. It’s this constant questioning of traditional approaches that has started to make profound changes within various industries.
