BusinessZone.co.uk's search for the UK's most innovative entrepreneurs reached an exciting conclusion on Monday 16 November when six entrepreneurs competed live in front of an audience of 250 people for the chance to win business support worth £50,000. Judging them were former Dragons' Den panellist Doug Richard, The Apprentice winner Tim Campbell, Pimlico Plumbers founder Charlie Mullins and Helen Stevenson, Yell's chief marketing officer.
The competition was preceded by a conference featuring top business experts sharing their words of wisdom. Replay our live coverage below. You can also view coverage on Twitter (our hashtag is #thepitch09). For the event agenda, click here and the delegate Twitter list, click here.
