As a former entrepreneur myself, I recognise the immense contribution that SMEs make to the UK and the challenges they face. It’s great to see some of the innovation taking place within SMEs across the country, and the appetite for growth that’s there, despite a challenging environment.  

“These businesses are the backbone of the UK economy, it’s important we give them the support they deserve, and take a moment to pause and celebrate them! We’re proud to be supporting the Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards. Congratulations to all the winners.” 

The awards ceremony, held on 18th November 2024 at London’s iconic Grosvenor House, brought together industry leaders, innovators, and change makers to celebrate the exceptional achievements of this year’s winners.

Spearheaded by entrepreneurs who are dedicated to introducing novel and groundbreaking ideas to the market, these individuals thrive on pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo.
