Budget Dumpster Co-Founders Named Entrepreneur of Year Finalists

By Sean Nally on May 17, 2016

EY has named Budget Dumpster co-founders John Fenn and Mark Campbell as finalists for the EY Entrepreneur of Year 2016 award in the Northeast Ohio Region

The award recognizes entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. Fenn and Campbell co-founded the organization to disrupt a waste industry niche – temporary roll-off dumpsters – that was ripe for innovation. Since 2009, the company has seen double-digit annual revenue growth, including 45% growth in 2015 and 40% growth through Q1 2016.

“We were humbled to be nominated by our employees and now honored as a finalist by EY,” said Fenn. “Mark and I are finalists solely because of the hard work and dedication of our 60-person team.”

A group of independent judges selected Fenn and Campbell based on written nominations and in-person interviews. The winners will be announced at a special gala on June 9 at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland. Now in its 30th year, the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Program has expanded to recognize business leaders in over 145 cities in 60 countries throughout the world. Regional award winners are eligible for consideration for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year National program.

Award winners in several national categories, as well as the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced at the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards gala in Palm Springs, California, on November 19, 2016. The awards are the culminating event of the EY Strategic Growth Forum®, the nation’s most prestigious gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies.
