Outstanding New Business Award 2021 | Business Action | 15 March 2021 | TBA

The Business Action ‘Outstanding New Business Award’ recognises the success of new North Devon businesses as they establish themselves.

New businesses are essential to the success of the North Devon economy as new technology causes some older industries to disappear and the natural cycle leads to experienced business people retiring. New businesses are always needed to replace old ones and to develop the economy for the future. Due to its remoteness, running a business in North Devon is a big challenge and maintaining a business here is a major achievement.

From buying and selling goods at a market to establishing a specialist consultancy, the Outstanding New Business Award highlights entrepreneurs who put their plans into action to build a successful North Devon business.

2020 has been a challenging year for everyone and many individuals have started new businesses in response to their changing circumstances. The Outstanding New Business Award seeks to recognise and celebrate these new businesses.
