Barclays Entrepreneur Awards to showcase businesses transforming their sectors and society
Then this is a good moment to shout about it as Barclays sixth annual Entrepreneur Awards get underway recognising outstanding contributions to industry and the society. The event will showcase founders and their companies who amid the pandemic have gone from bedroom to (virtual) boardroom, from homemade to self-made and have succeeded in bringing together their creativity, passion and innovation.
In turn they are helping to activate and stimulate the economic recovery and drive social change.
The Awards have eight categories, ranging from startup to international expansion. This time, some Barclays partners who provide services to help businesses thrive are sponsoring a category.
“The awards are a celebration of the exceptional innovation and leadership entrepreneurs show, helping to create social change and growth. This is our opportunity to celebrate some of the UK’s most successful home-grown ventures and the founders behind them,” says Katherine Morgan, head of the bank’s high growth and entrepreneurs proposition.
“It’s been a difficult time for businesses during the pandemic, which is why it’s more important than ever to celebrate entrepreneurs’ achievements. So often it’s their exceptional innovation, alongside their drive for social change, that helps us to overcome challenges and create momentum for growth across the country.”
