Regional Enterprise Awards

The University of York was ably represented at the Yorkshire Universities Regional Enterprise Awards by Waverun, an exciting business concept associated with real time advertising and Exelat Ltd, an already trading CETLE tenant company. Waverun, Joe Pearce and James Hambleton will be starting their business in the summer of 2008 with some support from the Student Proof of Concept fund. Matt Knight of Exelat is looking to move from the CETLE on graduation into new business premises on Clifton Moor near York. We wish both of them every success in the future.
