2017 Shortlist
“The UK Private Business Awards are a fantastic opportunity
to take stock and celebrate the talent and success right across
the private business sector.
The ambition of entrepreneurs and their teams makes this
a crucial part of our economy, particularly in an uncertain
economic environment. Passion and innovation isn’t confined
to a specific region or industry and this year the finalists are
from every part of the UK, and from industries as diverse
as fashion, construction and financial services.”
