Entrepreneur and Managing Director of Cheltenham-based PinPointMedia, Oliver Bruce, has picked up the FSB (Federation of Small Businesses) South West Young Entrepreneur of the Year award.

With nearly 200 delegates from as far afield as the Isle of Scilly the diversity and calibre of candidates was immense.

Oliver, who founded PinPointMedia aged 19 in 2013, has grown the business to become one of Gloucestershire’s largest video production company employing nearly 30 staff with growth plans in 2020 which include a further 11 hires, service diversification as well as ongoing investment into the business.

“I am amazed to have won, the level of competition was incredible, and the diversity of the other finalist was outstanding. There were some truly inspiring finalists and I congratulate them all on their achievements to date” said Oliver.

Oliver now goes onto the national awards, which are being held in London in May.
