13 March 2018

Daniel Hill (BA Hons Business Studies 2009) is celebrating after being named Entrepreneur of the Year 2018 at this year’s Midlands Business Awards.

Daniel is Managing Director of PPN UK, a market-leading, privately owned property group of four companies focussing on property investment, portfolio management, commercial development, and business training. 

After graduating in 2009, Daniel joined The Hive at NTU, which helped to develop his entrepreneurial ambitions by providing an environment to access essential support, experience and facilities needed to progress small businesses. He has since moved from strength to strength in the business world. In fact, this is not the first time Daniel has celebrated award success, having won Midlands Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2013. 

Of his recent accolade, he said:

"It's an honour and privilege to be nominated and invited back to compete with the heavyweights, there was some phenomenal competition this year and we are very proud and fortunate to be recognised among them. Taking home the award is a game changer for our business and acknowledges all the hard work our teams around the UK deliver year in year out. Very proud and grateful, thank you!"
