This was the first time the judges announced two winners for the Young Entrepreneur Award. Hats off to them! The Growing Business Awards is an awards ceremony to honor A-List British Entrepreneurs. The awards ceremony is co-hosted by Real Business and the CBI.
Here is a description of the qualifications for the award:
This new award identifies and celebrates entrepreneurs, under the age of 30, who are really going places. The judges are looking for candidates who have already started to build a business (or businesses), and who can show they have the ambition, energy, skill and vision to really scale the heights.
Specific qualities that the judges will consider are:
* The track record of the candidate in starting and running a business or businesses.
* The idea behind the current business together with the robustness of the business model.
* The performance of the current business including sales and profit growth.
* Plans in store for the business, and how these will be achieved.
To all of those Brits out there who wanted it, but didn’t get it – better luck next year!
