We are delighted to announce the 2022 London & The East of England Great British Entrepreneur Awards finalists.
This year we received over 5000 incredible applications, from talented and standout businesses across the UK – and we are so excited to announce that 96 of those businesses have made it to this year’s London and East of England finalists, across 12 different categories.
Each business has shown great success, an inspiring story, and huge potential for the future and we’re really grateful to be joining them on a part of their journey. Here at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, we care about creating a community that encourages growth, opportunity and support, and it’s an honour to introduce all of these businesses into our community.
We look forward to celebrating all of our finalists and winners at this year’s awards show which will be taking place later this year – with more information to come soon.
