A BARNSLEY businessman has been named as one of the UK’s top 50 best and brightest entrepreneurs.

Matt Travis, the founder of specialist environmental consultancy Enzygo, is officially one of the 50 most ambitious business leaders following the latest list by private equity investor LDC, part of the Lloyds Banking Group.

Matt, who lives in Birdwell, was one of three people who co-founded Enzygo in 2008.

Since taking the helm as managing director, under Matt’s leadership, Enzygo has enjoyed significant growth and success, building a 100-strong workforce.

Matt said: “Securing a place as one of Britain’s top 50 entrepreneurs is an incredible honour and one that would not be possible without the incredible hard work and dedication of the entire Enzygo team.

“Over the past three years, we’ve set ourselves some bold targets, successfully delivering significant year-on-year growth, as well as expanding our regional network.”
