Program

 

  • The awards recognise the passion and drive behind entrepreneurial businesses, whether private or listed, family-owned or private equity backed, across all commercial and industrial sectors and at any stage of business development.

 

  • The events and activities associated with Entrepreneur Of The Year offer insights to support your business in achieving its full potential.  Throughout the process there are opportunities to network with your fellow entrepreneurs, judges and alumni from the program.

 

  • In the current tough economic climate it is more important than ever that entrepreneurial skills and spirit are recognised and rewarded. There are many factors that make a great entrepreneur, financial performance is one of them. However, in these unprecedented times when assessing finalists our judges will be taking more than growth and financial track record into account. They will assess, amongst other broader criteria, how you are managing the downturn and making the most of any opportunities that have arisen.
