Great British Entrepreneur Awards 2014: Finalists Announced
Great British Entrepreneur Awards 2014
The finalists of the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, in association with NatWest were announced last week. Jessica had the privilege of judging the Young and Social Enterprise categories. The standard was incredibly high across the board with many inspirational stories of triumph over adversity to simply taking and idea and running with it. One thing all nominees had in common was their determination to improve their own lives by improving those of others with whatever talents they had. No obstacle was insurmountable, even age in some circumstances with the youngest nominees being eight (8) and 15 respectively. Although only one from each category will be named a winner we believe they are all winners and an inspiration to those who come after them. The GBE Awards celebrate the contributions and innovations of British entrepreneurs and their impact on the economy and who embody a spirit of disruption, innovation and enterprise.
The Great British Entrepreneur Awards will culminate in a glittering Awards Ceremony, taking place on Wednesday 19 November at the prestigious Old Billingsgate (London). the Awards will recognise business leaders from multiple industries across the 20 awards categories with three new categories; Food and Drink, Fashion and Media Disruptors, and one entrepreneur being championed the ‘Great British Entrepreneur of the Year’.
JHPR would like to wish the very best of luck to all Finalists!

Jessica’s tip of the week:
Differentiate your sales pitch from your PR pitch
Every month I run a PR workshop at the British Library for entrepreneurs keen to raise the profile of their small business or service. The most entertaining and impactful part of the workshop is where we invite the business owners to role- play a phone call to the publication they would LOVE to see their business appear in.
