Everyclick.com, the search engine that helps charity, is one of the finalists for The Jaeger-LeCoultre Daily Telegraph Business Personality of the Year Awards 2006.
Damian Reece, the City Editor of The Daily Telegraph said: “We were looking for people who had left the comfort zone of a salaried position to start their own business or who had overcome disabilities or who were not only generous with their money but also their time.”
The founders of everyclick have put their homes on the line to support this fundraising venture.
