EY Entrepreneur of the Year!

Jonathan Jones was nominated for the EY Entrepreneur of the Year for his area. See below for the release done by Jones Companies. This is such a testimony of the constant and hard "grit" by the Jonathans, as over 200 people were nominated across TX, LA and MS and there were roughly 35 finalists, of which there were only 10 winners, and THE ONE AND ONLY from Mississippi!!!

"Jonathan Jones was named the 2016 Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year for Diversified and Industrial Products for the Gulf Coast region at the awards gala last night in Houston, TX. The EY Entrepreneur of the Year is the world's most prestigious business award for entrepreneurs.

Jonathan was nominated for the award in February 2016. After receiving the nomination, Jonathan submitted a series of essays describing business initiatives, company culture, financial information, community involvement and more.

Over the next few months, Jonathan underwent a series of interviews by a panel of judges made up of previous winners, CEO's, private capital investors and other regional business leaders.

As a regional winner, Jonathan is eligible for consideration for the EY Entrepreneur of the Year national awards, which will be announced on November 19, 2016 in Palm Springs, CA."
