Young gun Hollands aiming for awards success

A Derby-based entrepreneur has become the youngest finalist in the Entrepreneur of the Year category at the East Midlands Chamber Awards.

Ed Hollands, 21, who founded DrivenMedia only 10 months ago after spotting an opportunity to use blank trucks travelling the country as an advertising space for companies, has been recognised for his “drive and passion” for a second time after being awarded Marketing Derby’s Rising Star award earlier in the year.

Hollands said: “The business has grown strength to strength, recently announcing the impeding launch of its campaign this summer for The University of Derby.

“I’m by no means showing signs of slowing down, and I will soo be revealing interest in the business by some household names. Watch out for one of my campaigns driving past you on your commute in the future.”
