Shell LiveWIRE

Art Pistol have made Shell LiveWIRE's annual Hot 40 entrepreneur list, and are in the running for Shell's prestigious Entrepreneur of the Year award in November, having fought off competition from hundreds of entrepreneurs.

Graham vant Hoff, Chairman of Shell UK, said: Our Hot 40 2011 represents the very best of entrepreneurial talent in the UK. I wish all of our Hot 40 the best of luck with their businesses in the future and look forward to seeing the finalists at the Young Entrepreneur of the Year final later this year.

Art Pistol has just won a Shell LiveWIRE Grand Ideas Award and we're delighted! A great start to the week and month.

The Awards are designed to give a financial and publicity boost to help businesses in the early stages of development. Entrepreneurs from all over the UK compete so being recognised has certainly brought a smile to our faces.
