GBEA founder Francesca James, said: “This year has been tough, emotional and challenging for so many of us. I’m so inspired, though, by all our winners and finalists’ sheer hard work, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit. Every single one them is truly exceptional and they should be very proud to call themselves Great British entrepreneurs.
“I want to thank our judges who give so much time and energy to these Awards and our community. And, of course, our sponsors. They believe in, support and champion each and every member of the community. This evening and this community wouldn’t be possible without them.”
