About the Awards

Recognising extraordinary
entrepreneurial achievement

As entrepreneurs, we're always focused on 'what's next'. We're notoriously bad at recognising and celebrating what we've achieved and how far we've come. The great work we do often goes unnoticed — which is why we created the National Entrepreneur Awards.

We're on a mission to recognise and reward the business owners and businesses that have achieved great things and shine a spotlight on the amazing things entrepreneurs all over the UK are doing.
