The deadlines are fast approaching for entries to the regional heats of the Enterprising Britain Competition.
The project, organised by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), is currently on its third annual search for the UK’s enterprise hotspots.
Launching the competition, Margaret Hodge, minister for industry and the regions, said:
“There are cities, towns and communities throughout the country that have placed enterprise at their heart and helped make Britain a better place to live and work. Enterprising Britain is a great chance to celebrate this.
“I encourage all those innovative projects out there that have used the spirit of enterprise to make a difference to people’s lives to enter this year’s competition and have a chance to be crowned the UK’s enterprise champion.”
Peter Jones, entrepreneur and panellist on hit BBC2 show Dragons’ Den, was also keen to show his support for the competition:
“The Enterprising Britain competition is a great opportunity to celebrate some of the enterprise success stories around the UK,” he said.
“It raises awareness of those people who really have made a difference to their communities, and helped to create a more dynamic enterprise culture for everyone.”
