Middletown, Ohio, Wednesday, June 14 – Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announced that CEO Angela Phillips of Phillips Tube Group, Inc., was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2023 East Central Award winner. The Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards program is one of the preeminent competitive awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. Angela was selected by an independent judging panel made up of previous award winners, leading CEOs, investors and other regional business leaders. The candidates were evaluated based on their demonstration of building long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact, among other core contributions and attributes.
“This recognition is the honor of a lifetime,” Angela Philips said. “I’m so proud and credit my entire team for the success of Phillips Tube Group. This is about all of us.” Phillips Tube Group, Inc., is a woman-owned business that produces steel tube for the appliance, automotive, HVAC, construction and recreational vehicle industries.
