Local Welsh entrepreneur announced as judge for Elite Business Top 100 awards

In celebration of the UK’s most forward thinking and innovative SME businesses, Elite Business Online today announces the launch of the Elite Business TOP 100 and are inviting entries from across the country.

Elite Business Top 100 will celebrate the brightest SME businesses in Britain and it is open to all privately-owned UK-based businesses, with entries being judged across eight key areas, with the aim of gauging growth, ambitions, innovation and contributions to their team and community.

This year’s judging panel is made up of leading business figures in the UK. Wales based entrepreneur Matt Jones, who earlier this year featured on the BBC’s Dragons’ Den, has been announced as one of the judges. The full judging panel includes:

• Charlie Mullins OBE, Founder and former CEO, Pimlico Plumbers • Emma Sayle, Founder, CEO, Speaker • Lara Morgan, Founder, investor & entrepreneur • Michael Hayman MBE DL, Entrepreneur, author & broadcaster; Chair & Co- Founder, Seven Hills • Piers Linney, Founder and CEO, Moblox • Simone Roche MBE, CEO Northern Power Women • Sophie Milliken, CEO, Moja • Matt Jones, CEO, Rebel Lion Advertising

Matt said: “It’s no secret that today’s business landscape is challenging for us all. That’s why I’m a big believer in celebrating success and applauding businesses who are breaking the mould. So, I’m proud to be a judge for the Elite Business Top 100, especially being an ambassador for Wales. This list will showcase the most impressive SMEs in the UK doing dynamic and innovative things that deserve to be recognised.”

Online entries will be free of charge and open until 2 December and those selected will be honoured in a league table and digital guide that will be distributed to the Elite Business’ audience and digital network of over half a million people.

Elite Business 100 Finalists will be announced in January 2023 and are entitled to a free directory in the guide and on the Elite Business website. A Celebratory and Awards evening will also take place, in London, on 17th March 2023.

The No.1 winners of the EB 100 will also receive a full hospitality package from Club Wembley, including a premium corporate suite, with full catering included for the CEO and 7 of their senior management team, at an England International game at Wembley Stadium in March 2023.
