Nominations for Barclays Entrepreneur Awards 2020 are now open. The awards celebrate entrepreneurs’ success, leadership and their positive impact on society.
In this fifth year of the awards, Barclays is keen to celebrate the success of game-changing entrepreneurs and businesses which, despite the current pandemic, have made a positive impact to their communities and the wider economy. Whether through a pivot or by coming together to make a difference, entrepreneurship continues to be at the beating heart of our economy.
The Barclays Entrepreneur Awards for 2020 will recognise those who are making a difference to the people and communities in which they serve. Categories range from the Start-up Entrepreneur Award – which is for a founder of a business with propensity for scale – to The Social Entrepreneur Award for those who are positively driving social and environmental change with their business.
Richard Heggie, Head of High Growth & Entrepreneurs Proposition at Barclays said: “It’s been a difficult time for businesses due to the coronavirus outbreak, which is why it’s more important than ever to celebrate entrepreneurs and recognise their achievements. So often, it’s their exceptional innovation, alongside their drive for social change, that helps us to overcome challenges and keep the country moving forward.”
