Name: CV-Library
Area: Fleet, Hampshire

Nominated: Lee Biggins, managing director, CV-Library
Lee Biggins' journey from a carpet fitter who wanted a quicker and easier way to find a new job to sole owner of CV-Library is a classic 'rags to riches' tale, but it is not this that makes him the perfect candidate for the Guardian's small business leader of year award.
What sets Lee apart is his relentless work ethic, a drive which has ensured CV-Library's continued successful growth - and a vision which now sees him taking his proven concept over the Atlantic to take on the USA job market.
While his deep understanding of the needs of recruiters and employers alike is unquestionable, it is his ability to build and develop an ever-growing team of passionate, motivated and dependable staff who rank 'job satisfaction', 'the chance to constantly take on new challenges', and 'a love for the company values' as their primary reasons for turning out all-star performances day in, day out, that makes Lee Biggins not only a great leader, but also a great human being.
