Stockport-born Paul has been recognised by the North West Entrepreneur Awards for his contribution to the region’s economy and for his hard work and determination as a businessperson and entrepreneur. In its inaugural year, the awards highlight and showcase individual success and achievement in the North West. “I am delighted to win Outstanding Business Consultant of the Year,” comments Paul Yates, CEO of Just Search. “It’s great to be recognised as a key player in the North West business world and to be given recognition for driving forward the region’s thriving economy.” Paul found his forte selling unique telephone numbers before learning the hard way about running a business, with his first ventures in telecoms and internet sales failing. Selling one of these companies to his business partner, Paul set up Just Search in 2004. Having devised an innovative formula to help businesses improve their Google search engine rankings, Paul and his brother Justin went about selling the service to small businesses across the North West.  “We have seen our client base in Manchester go from strength to strength with a number of blue chip companies on board,” continues Paul. “Businesses throughout the UK are using web marketing as a vital part of their marketing mix and our capacity to deliver solutions that provide better return on their internet spend means we are at the forefront of a rapidly growing industry.”  Just Search’s pay per click and SEO services enable organisations to increase their footprint on the web, providing more return on web marketing spend.  ENDS
