DRG client Ellie Webb, who founded Caleño the tropical non-alcoholic spirit brand, has been named Great British Entrepreneur of the Year for the South West at the recent Great British Entrepreneur Awards.
Now in its eighth year, the Great British Entrepreneur Awards in partnership with Starling Bank celebrate the hard work and inspiring stories of entrepreneurs in the UK, rather than just the business’ balance sheet.
The Great British Entrepreneur of the Year is the top award given in each region and is presented to someone who truly encapsulates what it means to be a Great British entrepreneur. They exhibit all of the hard work, determination, creativity and resilience required to rise above the rest.
It was the second award of the evening for Ellie, who was also named Food & Drink Entrepreneur of the Year for the south west. Ellie is now in the running to be named Great British Entrepreneur of the Year 2020 at the National Finals, with a date yet to be confirmed because of the uncertainty over large events due to Covid-19 restrictions.
“We are delighted for Ellie,” said Oliver Burton, Partner at DRG. “This is an outstanding achievement and we wish her the very best at the forthcoming Great British Entrepreneur National Final.”
