Lingo24’s Christian Arno has been announced as one of Growing Business’s entrepreneurial ‘Young Guns’ for 2009. Thirty of the UK’s best young entrepreneurs were selected based on a number of factors, but all had to demonstrate a unique and outstanding business that has experienced considerable success. Each Young Gun must also be:

•    under the age of 35
•    the founder, co-founder, managing director or CEO of a privately-owned business
•    running a company with between 5 and 500 staff, and a turnover in excess of £1m with fantastic growth potential and/or will have raised £250,000 plus

Christian went to London for a photo shoot with Growing Business last week and he mingled and networked with the other 29 ‘Young Guns’, as well as the sponsors and business journalists. The front cover of the October issue of Growing Business magazine will be adorned with the Young Guns and there will be a special 12-page feature too.
