Do you know someone worthy of a new Royal Award for encouraging entrepreneurial skills and attitudes in others? Perhaps you owe your own business success to the exceptional efforts of a particular business mentor or other “enterprise champion”?
Then here’s your chance to say “thank you” to the unsung heroes contributing to a UK enterprise culture.
The new Queen’s Award for Enterprise Promotion will go to outstanding individuals who promote entrepreneurship either by their own efforts or by encouraging enterprise and innovation in others, for example by mentoring. The scheme will reward these ‘enterprise champions’ just as other schemes reward success in sport and the arts. Recipients are likely to be involved in business, education, training or youth work.
People must be nominated for The Queen’s Award for Enterprise Promotion – and that’s where you can play a part.
To nominate your choice of enterprise champion, simply obtain a nomination form from The Queen’s Awards website at
www.queensawards.org.uk or from The Queen’s Awards Office (tel 0207 222 2277), then send it to The Queen’s Awards Office by midnight on 31 October 2004.
As an added incentive, those who nominate the successful candidates will also be invited to the Reception at Buckingham Palace.
Meanwhile, don’t forget that if your business has two or more people, and can demonstrate outstanding achievements in International Trade, Innovation or Sustainable Development, it might be eligible for a Queen’s Award for Enterprise. Deadline for applications for the 2005 Awards is also midnight on 31 October 2004, so don’t delay – visit
