Over the last 5 years I’ve been delighted to be involved with the Haines Watts Young Entrepreneur of the Year (HWYE) competition where, as the name implies, we are on the look out for some great young business talent. And it’s that time of year again and we are kicking of the 2015 competition.

So, could this be you? Or maybe someone you know?

Young entrepreneurs are our future business leaders and start-up businesses in the UK create more jobs than those in any other major European economy – so we need to support them. The HWYE competition is our way of doing this.

Entering the competition at www.hwye.co.uk is easy – you just fill in an online entry form – and if you make it through to the semi-final stage you’ll get publicity, a cash prize of £250, plus a year-long mentoring and support programme from a Haines Watts partner.

And, of course, you may win the ultimate accolade by being crowned the overall Thames Valley Young Entrepreneur of the Year and receive an extra £500!

Winning an award is fantastic for any business – it’s great for publicity and for raising your profile.
