THE founder of marketing agency Active Profile has been named Outstanding Graduate of the Year by the University of Liverpool's Centre for Enterprise and Entrepreneurial Leadership.

The award for Anna Heyes, who founded Active Profile in 2004, comes a month after she scooped the Young Entrepreneur of the Year at the Northwest Women in Business Awards.

Ms Heyes said: "I'm thrilled the University decided to present me with this - it's strange, as it doesn't seem a second since I was studying for my degree at the Management School. It was there I had the initial encouragement to start Active Profile."

Murray Dalziel, director of the Management School, said: "I am delighted with Anna's success.

"She exemplifies the very best of what the school stands for in its drive to ensure programmes are relevant to the current and future business needs.

"I was thrilled to see Anna set up her own business and we wish her every success in the future."
