Two financial planners and dealer group founders have emerged as finalists in the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year awards.
Ernst and Young announced this week that one of the founders of West Australian-based dealer group Plan B, Bryan Taylor, was a finalist alongside Shadforth's founder Tony Fenning.
Taylor and Fenning are among 70 nominees in the 10th annual Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards, with Fenning being counted among the nominees from NSW and the ACT, while Taylor is among the so-called western region nominees.
The regional award winners will be named at the end of July while the national award winners will be named in November.
