| A North Staffordshire project dedicated to bringing enterprise to forefront of economic development in one of the West Midlands most deprived areas has beaten off stiff national competition to win Enterprising Britain 2007. North Staffordshire Regeneration Zone (NSRZ), which covers the urban core of Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-Under-Lyme, beat eleven other finalists to win the Enterprising Britain 2007 title. The award recognises NSRZ's success in turning The Potteries from 'the worst place in the country to start a business" into an economic hub of enterprise activity. Enterprising Britain 2007, which is run by the Mark Your Mark campaign on behalf of the Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, is a national competition that celebrates and recognises the most enterprising places in the UK. It is a key part of the Government's drive to increase British entrepreneurship, and identifies areas of enterprise excellence: those places that have created jobs, forged links in communities, and improved the local climate for businesses and residents. Twelve projects, representing each of the Regional Development Agencies and Devolved Administrations, were shortlisted for the award in June, and visited by the Enterprising Britain judges over the summer.
