The Great british entrepreneur awards & community
In 2012 we launched an awards programme to shine a light on Great British entrepreneurs.
It’s now grown to so much more than that, and while we are home to the largest celebration of entrepreneurship via The Great British Entrepreneur Awards, we are also a community and ecosystem of some 50,000 entrepreneurs and their supporters.
Take a look around to see what we’re doing, along with our impressive community and passionate supporters.
A COMMUNITY RECOGNISED
BY GOVERNMENT
"What marks these awards out is the way they've fostered such an impressive, supportive community of people. And that's never been more important than right now."
Rishi Sunak MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer

5/5
"GBEA is a community that really does work to the benefit of everyone involved. Something you don’t realise, even being in business yourself, is just how many incredible British businesses there are and we should be sharing success stories and championing those getting out there and doing it more – and that’s exactly what GBEA does.
5/5
"GBEA is utterly brilliant at recognising the wonderful and diverse entrepreneurial talent we have in Great Britain. Winning the Young Entrepreneur and Great British Entrepreneur of the Year for the South West Region was literally mind-blowing and is now inspiring me to push myself harder than ever before!"
5/5
"In truth, we didn’t really understand what was going on. When Steven (founder of Poundland) said he would do it, we thought he was joking. Even when we exchanged contact details we thought maybe he would change his mind. But Steven kept his promise and helped us exceed our target. When we saw he’d done it we were dancing around and screaming at each other down the phone."
