Best Business Names 2004 follows the success of last year’s inaugural competition which was won by Cornish landscape gardener The Lawnranger, who said: “Lots of people rang up to say they had seen the business mentioned in the local papers. It generated a lot of interest and we received a lot of new business calls from people who had read about the competition. I enjoyed every moment of it and would really recommend taking part as it’s a brilliant experience!”
Richard Duggleby, head of external relations at Yell, publisher of Yellow Pages directories, said: “We’re looking for business names that are both memorable and relevant to their line of work. Whether there’s a pun in the title or clever use of words, originality is crucial for success.”
“With thousands of businesses listed in Yellow Pages from hairdressers and plumbers to aromatherapists, we are confident that a flick through the directory will highlight the sheer range and ingenuity of British business names – we simply want to recognise the best.”
