Auction My Stuff founder named Future 100 Young Entrepreneur
17 Nov 2008
Chris Allwood, founder and Manager of Auction My Stuff, our social enterprise, was named as one of the Future 100 Young Entrepreneurs of the Year during Global Entrepreneurship Week 2008.
The Future 100 Awards profiles young entrepreneurs aged 18-35 who are demonstrating entrepreneurial flair and innovation in progressing a responsible business venture; one which demonstrates a balance between economic, environmental and social goals to achieve ultimate business success. The awards encourage and reward extraordinary vision, ethical business practice and social responsibility. They aim to showcase businesses that offer innovative and sustainable solutions to social problems.
Auction My Stuff aims to give young people the chance to get the skills, experience and confidence for work, as well as raising money for charity. We sell on eBay on behalf of our parent charity community links, as well as other much larger national charities. Auction My Stuff is generously hosted by Tate & Lyle at their Refinery in Silvertown, as part of their commitment to the local community.
Chris said, “ Winning the Future 100 award shows just what a fantastic team of staff and volunteers we have at Auction My Stuff. Please contact us if you’d be interested in joining”
