A GLASGOW businessperson – whose expertise, mentoring and inspiration has helped young entrepreneurs throughout Glasgow fulfil their self-employment ambitions – is one of four finalists shortlisted for 2011 Prince’s Scottish Youth Business Trust (PSYBT) ‘Volunteer of the Year Award.’
Jeff Horner, who works for The Go Group as an Innovation Support Executive, has been nominated for his commitment towards helping young entrepreneurs sustain their business and offering them crucial advice during the first few years in operation.
The Volunteer of the Year will be announced at the ‘PSYBT Young Entrepreneur of the Year’ awards ceremony in Glasgow’s City Chambers on Tuesday 15h November 2011.
Mr Horner started volunteering for the Glasgow PSYBT team in 2005 as an aftercare advisor and currently holds four additional volunteer roles within the organisation.
