"It is a tremendous honour for all of us here at White Stores to be finalists in the Essex Business Excellence Awards and Online Retail Awards for 2015," says James Whiteley, the 30-year-old Founder and Managing Director of White Stores. "Over the past 10 years, everybody on the team has put their heart and soul into providing the best possible products and service to our customers. We hope our successful association with these prestigious business awards will help White Stores achieve even greater things over the next 12 months." Starting in the garden furniture industry aged 16, stuffing cushions at his father's factory, James launched his own company in 2005. From a business initially operating out of his bedroom, White Stores now employs over 30 people and generates an annual turnover of over £7m. On also being nominated a finalist in the Young Entrepreneur award category, James adds: "I truly believe that starting up and growing a successful business can change people's lives for the better. That's why I devote myself to work. To have my enthusiasm for business life officially recognised by the judges of the Essex Business Excellence Awards has been a fantastic boost to me, both personally and professionally. I would also like to take this opportunity to encourage other young UK entrepreneurs to go out there and make their own dreams happen."
