This year’s Queen’s Award for Enterprise Promotion was presented yesterday by business secretary Vince Cable, in a move to emphasise the government’s support of entrepreneurship.
The award aims to reward people who have played an outstanding and significant role in promoting the growth of business enterprise and entrepreneurial skills in others, in particular young or disadvantaged people.
Commenting on the awards, Cable said: “Celebrating our enterprising and innovative business culture is a wonderful way to highlight the exciting place entrepreneurship has in Britain today. The success of these people and their commitment to promoting enterprise and innovation is laudable.”
The award is open to anyone who has helped individuals develop entrepreneurial skills at both a national and local level.
Cable added: “I want to see a whole new generation of entrepreneurs and would strongly encourage nominations for next year’s Queen’s Awards.”
After the award ceremony, a reception was held at Buckingham Palace for the business secretary, the recipients and the nominees.
