The regional finalists represent 87 businesses and span a diverse range of sectors, from consumer and financial services to health and technology. Collectively they employ over 22,000 people and generate combined revenues of £3.6 billion. 

Ally Scott, Entrepreneur Of The Year UK, Co-Partner Lead comments “This year’s regional finalists are truly inspiring. In a rapidly changing macroeconomic environment, they have continued to innovate, adapt and thrive, building impressive businesses that span a broad range of sectors and regions of the UK, in turn creating thousands of jobs across the country.”

Alexandra Fogal, Entrepreneur Of The Year UK, Co-Partner Lead adds: “Our regional finalists join an impressive global community of entrepreneurs, with opportunities to network with past and present participants of the programme. EY Entrepreneur Of The Year has been running for over 40 years and helps to connect and support entrepreneurs as they continue to scale and grow their businesses.”

The regional finalists will be shortlisted by a panel of independent judges, with 10 entrepreneurs ultimately selected to compete in the UK final. The overall UK winner will be announced at a Celebration Dinner in November and will then go on to compete at EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ in 2026.
