Retailing giant Yours Clothing is supporting the development of young entrepreneurs with sponsorship of a special prize at the Peterborough Telegraph Business Awards.
Yours Clothing, based at Saxon House, Bakewell Road, Orton Southgate, is the sponsor of the the Young Entrepreneur of the Year title at the business awards, which take place in November.
The category is open to people aged 40 and under and celebrates a business leader or entrepreneur who shows outstanding drive, commitment and results.
