After a rigorous judging process, we are thrilled to share the finalists in EY’s Entrepreneur Of The Year™ 2021 UK programme.

It takes a special kind of person to have the grit, drive and tenacity to become an entrepreneur and at the same time, have agile business ideas that can make a real difference in our everyday world.

In this short film, we shine the spotlight on some of the UK’s most unstoppable entrepreneurs as they reveal their optimistic day-to-day thinking, what makes them leaders in their markets and how their innovative ambitions have had an impact on the UK economy. This year we celebrate the inspiring finalists who have the vision to help reframe our future.

Lynn Rattigan, EY Chief Operating Officer for the UK & Ireland and EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ UK Partner Sponsor, said: “ I am truly exhilarated by this year’s line-up of entrepreneurs – from our regional finalists to the 26 advancing to the UK final, they demonstrate many reasons to be optimistic about the future of our business sector. ”

“The breadth of winning sectors also highlights the strength and energy of entrepreneurship across the country. At a time when many businesses have had to rapidly react to the challenges posed by the pandemic, these entrepreneurs have shown they can innovate, respond and adapt whilst also creating long-term value for their clients and broader stakeholders.”
