Vote for our local businessman in national competition

Readers are urged to support the Advertiser's finalist in a national business competition by voting for him online.

Sam Hargreaves, 20, founder of Gadgets4everyone which recycles gadgets such as iPods, won the Maidenhead Advertiser's heat of the Local Business Accelerators (LBA) competition.

He went on to win the London region final and now a People's Choice video competition has been launched allowing members of the public to choose their favourite LBA regional winner ahead of the grand final at the end of the month.

Video interviews with Sam and the other 11 regional winners can be watched online and viewers can vote for their favourite before midnight on June 24 using the internet poll.

The winner will be announced on June 28, alongside the campaign’s overall winner as picked by a judging panel. The People’s Choice is a separate award and will not affect who will be crowned LBA champion. The winner will receive mentoring from Deborah Meadon from TV's Dragons' Den.
