Caleño founder named South West Entrepreneur of the Year

Caleno Great British Entrepreneur Awards South West

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.”

"My company has used DRG for a number of years. They are proactive and efficient with all aspects of their work. They keep on top of our tax and accounting requirements, and help with the development of our business strategy.

We view DRG as a key supplier and crucially a partner and would highly recommend the firm – in particular to other fast growing businesses."

David Folkman, Director

"I’ve worked with a number of accountants over the years and have never found another company who offers the same level of care, support and professionalism. They’re always on hand to offer advice and guidance, above and beyond the service that I pay for. I would recommend them wholeheartedly."

Joe Hill, Director

"Very supportive and friendly company from day one."

Outdoor Academy

"I have always worked as an employee so when I decided to set up my own business, I did not know where to start. DRG took the time to explain how working as a sole trader would be more beneficial to me setting up a limited company (which I had always thought was a requirement for running a business). They gave me practical advice on the records I need to keep as well as general guidance on setting up my business and helped me claim a large tax refund after my first year of trading."

Sole Trader

"I have been a client through a number of different ventures with DRG since 2007. They have proved the benefits of a local firm with Big 4 experience in providing sound business and tax advice by being accessible, having in-depth knowledge of my business and able to form good working relationships at different levels with me and my staff. We also enjoy the benefit of their excellent accountancy and payroll services. I couldn’t recommend them more highly."

Paul Dunn-Sims, Halcyon Home Care

"I have been extremely impressed with the service level and attention to my business."
