Central to the ethos of the Great British Entrepreneur Awards is being more than just an awards ceremony. It’s a community; a thriving ecosystem of support all year round and provision of support and opportunities for winners and finalists to connect and showcase their business, helping them to stand out from the crowd.
This is an ethos that Chrsitine also lives and breathes as a self-confessed cross pollinator of business and serial networker. “Connecting and collaborating with other business owners and networks is not just one of the most effective ways to thrive in adverse times but it’s also a great way to contribute to the industries and communities that you love and want to see flourish”.
Founder of the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, Francesca James, said, “Creating the shortlist out of so many wonderful applications was incredibly tough, so I don’t envy the judges who will now decide the regional winners. Everyone who has been shortlisted should be incredibly proud and we’re thrilled to be able to showcase their achievements.”
Finalists for the Great British Entrepreneur Awards are eagerly awaiting the result which will be announced in September.
