For the last 17 years EY has been recognising exceptional UK business leaders through EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ awards. In 2016 we have once again started our search for those entrepreneurs with the vision and passion to reshape the future.
Seen as the most prestigious global business award in the UK, the programme starts at a local level, with regional award ceremonies taking place in Scotland, the North of England, the Midlands, and London & South. Regional winners then progress to the UK finals in October, and the overall UK winner will go on to compete for the title of EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year in Monte Carlo.
Programme alumni include: Nitin Passi (CEO and Founder, Missguided), Ashok Lakhani (Founder and CEO, Kolak Snack Foods), and Dilshad & Barinder Hothi (Co-Founders, The Knowledge Academy).
Winners are selected by an independent judging panel, against criteria including: entrepreneurial spirit, financial performance, strategic direction, global impact, innovation, personal integrity and influence. Our judge alumni include: Dr Jason Wouhra (Director and Company Secretary, East Ends Foods), Majid Hussain (CEO, Accrol Paper), and Mohsin Issa (Co-Founder, Euro Garages).
By entering the Entrepreneur Of The Year programme you will not only have the opportunity to celebrate your success and your team’s, you will also be joining an elite group of some of the UK’s most exciting entrepreneurs. You will benefit from the opportunity to share ideas, learn from others, and have access to EY’s in-depth knowledge from working with exceptional entrepreneurs globally.
Entries are now open until 11 March 2016. Join us as we begin the search for the UK’s most innovative entrepreneurs.
