Nick Ogden, the 2010 National Business Awards Entrepreneur of the Year winner and founder of WorldPay and Voice Commerce Group, today launched Business.co.uk  a non-for-profit online portal designed to encourage British entrepreneurs to setup and start running their own businesses.

These services will allow them to search and buy products and services from other UK based business at a regional and local level, thereby supporting UK trade.
