Tees Valley entrepreneur needs votes to win Richard Branson Comp

April 30th 2015

THE only entrant from Stockton-on-Tees, unemployed budding entrepreneur Beverley Rose-Olmez is asking for the support of fellow Teesside residents and businesses, by voting for her online, to help her reach the semi-finals of Richard Branson’s business investment competition called ‘Pitch to Rich.'

With her start-up marketing business called 'Campaign Kick-off Workshops,' Beverley is hoping to achieve over 500 votes by the first round deadline date of May 5, 2015. 

Beverley is entered in the ‘Start-Up’ category, with the two other categories being, ‘New Things’ and ‘Grow’. The top fifty entrants with the highest votes from each category will automatically progress her through to semi-finalist status in this UK wide competition.

The final pitches will be made to Rich at a live finale event in London on June 26, 2015, where the ten best pitches will win a share of more than £1,000,000 in prizes. 

Currently in the pre-launch phase, Beverley is productising her 21 years worth of international marketing and events management knowledge, and specifically, will be delivering the marketing tools which helped her achieve finalist status in the Interim Marketing Manager of the Year Awards 2014, for a project where she helped to globally launch an aviation sector clients product. 

Global business managers will be able to receive the workshops via Skype, in-house one-to-one or by traditional group workshops. The Campaign Kick-off Workshops will include practical, easy to implement tips and how to guidelines based upon best practice marketing theory, and contain a series of short, specialist and hard to find marketing topics.

Beverley said: “I’ve had such amazing support so far from friends, family, business colleagues and the global business community, but I am desperate to get masses more votes, to get me through to the semi-finals. It is about the votes at the moment, and if the people of Teesside are kind enough to support me, I would be extremely grateful.”
