Now in its sixth year, the Awards celebrate the hard work and inspiring stories of entrepreneurs and businesses in Great Britain, not just the balance sheet.
Having expanded to five cities in 2017, the NatWest Great British Entrepreneur Awards will return to Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh and London again in 2018. 2017 saw over 1,350 entrepreneurs enter, and 56 individual winners crowned across the five regions.
This year sees the return of the ‘Service Industries’ category, with the addition of the ‘Entrepreneurs’ Team’ award, which will recognise the vital hard work and dedication of an entrepreneur’s core team in creating and running a successful business.
Since its launch, the NatWest Great British Entrepreneur Awards has celebrated some of the UK’s brightest entrepreneurs. Previous winners include: James Watt of BrewDog, Julie Deane OBE of The Cambridge Satchel Company, Shaun Pulfrey of Tangle Teezer, and Sophie & Hannah Pycroft of Spectrum Collections.
