"I think the benefit of the Entrepreneur Of The Year Programme is that it recognises not only the individual but the people who actually work for the company, so I think that's a great thing."


Ratheesan Yoganathan of Lebara - 2012 London & South Overall Winner



"I personally and the company are flattered to have had this privilege. I had not realised how many people took notice of this award – judging by the number of emails and letters I have received since".


Stephen Catlin of Catlin Group - 2011 UK Overall Winner



"Now more than ever we should be recognising and applauding the entrepreneurs who are driving their businesses forward, taking innovative new ideas to markets around the world, and creating the jobs and wealth that will deliver prosperity for the UK as a whole."


Lord Browne -

"The whole experience was hugely beneficial as it helped me to very clearly evaluate our overall strategic development and growth. I found the impact of the entire programme to be positive, especially meeting the judges, the interview process and the extremely high quality of the questions and feedback."
