The search is on to find the “great faces of British Business’ in a newly launched competition from the Business is GREAT campaign and communications company BT Business.

The competition plans to reward businesses with the best stories involving innovation, growth and export adventures. It will highlight their achievements and aims to emphasise government support on offer as well.

Winners of regional heats will go on to face other champions in the national stage of the competition.

On offer to the “grand prix” winner is a prize package worth an estimated £30,000, including national media coverage, an iPad Air, unlimited BR Wifi for 12 months and a package of export support from UKTI.

To enter, business must be registered in the UK and have between one and 250 staff members. Entrants can pick one of three categories: best exporter, most innovative small business and best growth story.

Announcing the awards, business minister Matthew Hancock said: “This is a top opportunity to celebrate the enormous contribution they make to villages, towns and cities across Great Britain.

“I am committed to fostering this entrepreneurial spirit and making sure that Britain is the best place in the world to start and grow a business.”
