I was featured in the February 2005 edition of Arena Magazine as an entrant in the annual Arena O2 X Club Awards. I was later shortlisted for the Entrepreneur of the Year Award and attended the Awards Ceremony in London. It was close, but sadly, no cigar. Dinner and my mug-shot in my favourite magazine was a win though.
