Newcastle Business School in conjunction with the Evening Chronicle took part in the awards aimed at 16-25 year olds which celebrates the success and praises the determination of young people within the North East region.
Sean Gerrie, Dylan McKee and Lauren Skerritt were picked as the finalists for the Business and Enterprise award from a number of high calibre entries, and the winner of the category being 25 year old Sean Gerrie.
Sean, having achieved a first class honours degree from Northumbria University three years ago, has worked in both retail and IT. From his experiences in these sectors he soon realised he possessed the skills and ingenuity to set up his own business, less than two years after graduating. In 2008, Sean set up Seeded SEO, which provides its clients with internet marketing services, with the main service being SEO (Search Engine Optimisation).
The 25-year-old uses his skills in internet marketing to make sure his clients increase their online presence, with the potential of eventually reaching the top of search engine results.
So far, Seeded SEO has served a vast variety of clients, including holiday companies, cleaning agencies and a training provider. Sean is a very creative and motivated individual. In the past, he has created entertainment websites, social networking sites, and is always on the look-out for further innovative ideas.
Sean was nominated by a friend who described him as "extremely supportive", "exceptionally professional" and a "workaholic".
Congratulations to Sean and all winners and runners up at the awards yesterday.
