The 30th Entrepreneur of the Year (18th in the UK) awards programme is open for entries and we think it would be great to see a Black Country businessperson lead the way for the Midlands.

Organisers (Ernst & Young) describe Entrepreneur Of The Year as celebrating “the spirit and contribution of exceptional entrepreneurs who can see the future, and through their entrepreneurial businesses, are helping to reshape it”.

Running in over 145 cities in more than 60 countries across the world, the programme honours men and women who are “building and leading successful, growing and dynamic businesses. Those who have the vision to see how things could work better, and then make them happen in the real world”.

Do you have what it takes to stand out in the Midlands, the UK and maybe even the world? Find out how to enter at www.eoy.co.uk. The closing date is Friday 11 March.
